Monitor Construction and Impacts of the U . S . 1 Bridge
Town staff regularly attends Florida Department of Transportation ( FDOT ) progress meetings and has worked with the Jupiter Lighthouse Museum to minimize construction impacts . Costs incurred by the museum are reviewed monthly and submitted to FDOT for payment .
The U . S . 1 bridge will close to vehicular traffic in March 2023 as Florida Department of Transportation crews work to replace the bridge .
FDOT personnel have also taken part in two Connect with Council Open Houses ( for more information , see page 20 ) and provided Town Council with a progress update at its January 17 , 2023 meeting . The Town provides updates on construction impacts on area businesses , residents and traffic on its social media outlets , website and via the Town ’ s email list .
