55-day Jupiter Island Bridge Closure

Palm Beach County will be shutting down the bridge leading to Jupiter Island in Tequesta for repairs that will span 55 days beginning June 6th. Residents to the island however can find their way home by using the free water Taxi service that will operate daily from 6 to 10a.m., noon to 2 p.m. and 4 to 8 p.m. every 15 minutes. The pontoon boat will go from the south dock of the JIB Yacht Club Marina to the Crab House restaurant, off Sate Road A1A. Around six people will be able to make the trip at once. There is no plans to have service available for vehicles. Island residents can still take a detour by car through Martin County and cross the Hobe Sound bridge that requires driving north on Beach Road for 10 miles at 30mph and returning south along U.S. 1.
