JUPITER — The Indiantown Road exit to Florida's Turnpike won't close for the weekend as previously announced.

The Florida Department of Transportation said on Friday that its plans to demolish the toll booths have been canceled for now. It did not cite a reason for its change in plans.

The project will be rescheduled for a later date. Shawn Reed, Jupiter's public information officer, said Friday that the town didn't yet know when construction at exit 116 will be rescheduled.

The plan was to close the exits from early Saturday until early Monday and redirect traffic along Interstate 95 to exits in Palm Beach Gardens and in Martin County.
