The bridge just opened for a big barge - appears to be fixed at the moment.

This bridge is still not opening for boat traffic and the anchorages are full well north of Jupiter Inlet. I recommend calling ahead if you are looking for a slip anywhere in the Jupiter area.

The bridge can't open right now but if you can pass under it closed, the waterway is passable.

Bridge isn't fixed yet, just spoke with the bridge tender who says they'll try again tomorrow

Bridge is closed until monday 9 jan 2023 at least. We were there this morning and we could not pass. The bridgemaster told us that they expect engineers to try to solve the problem on monday morning. We couldn’t make it through Jupiter inlet.

If heading northbound you must exceed 6.5 to 7 kts speed to make the next 30 minute opening at Indiantown Road.

  The Indiantown (SR 706) Bridge opens on the hour and half-hour.
