I have to go to Jupiter for business.
I plan to go thru Tampa(275) and I think 95.
I don't like to drive and have panic attacks on bridges.
Sounds silly but they are very real.

How many bridges will I have to cross to get to Jupiter?

Oh my... Where are you coming from?
If you take 275 thru Tampa you'll likely get a heart attack if you're scared of bridges. There are two extremely long bridges you will need to take that cross the bay. And by bridges, I mean:



And yes, there are two of them. IIRC they're about 4 miles in length each, and the only thing visible to your left and right is water.

Take 75 straight down if you want to avoid the bridges.

Well I prefer travel to Mars, ha ha ha

Seriously, it's easy. Take a flight from Tampa to WPB. Then rent a car and drive to Jupiter on I95. You won't have any bridges taht way.

You'd really be much better off taking 75 to I-4 and then I-4 to the Turnpike. Turnpike has a Jupiter exit. MUCH quicker that way, and there are no bridges.

I have no problems driving on normal bridges but that Sunshine Skyway bridge makes me seriously nervous.I've driven other famous ones like the Golden Gate and Bay Bridge in San Francisco but those are nothing compared to the Sunshine Skyway.From Tampa to Jupiter either take I-4 to Orlando and then the turnpike south,you're going out of your way but you are sticking to expressways,or you can choose the way I would go which is taking state road 60 from Tampa to the turnpike and then south.Definitely more of a rural road,but way inland which you might enjoy and more direct.Whatever option you pick of these two just don't take 275 if you're scared of bridges.
