Jefferson station is a Skyway monorail station in downtown Jacksonville, Florida. It is located on Bay Street just west of Jefferson Street.
History
Jefferson was one of the three original stations that opened with the initial 0.7-mile (1.1 km) segment of the Skyway on May 30, 1989.[1][2] It is located between Terminal station to the west and Central station to the east.[3] All three stations were closed between December 1996 and December 1997, when the Skyway was converted into a monorail.[2][3]
The station was closed from July 5, 2017[4] until May 4, 2020 during the construction of the Jacksonville Regional Transportation Center at LaVilla and an adjacent apartment complex.[4]
