Sanibel Causeway Emergency Restoration: As a part of the Florida Department of Transportation’s (FDOT) Emergency Restoration of the Sanibel Causeway, crews continue work on McGregor Boulevard and the Sanibel Causeway from Port Comfort Road to Sanibel Island. The causeway islands surrounding the temporary roadway are an active work zone and are currently closed for public access, including from the water.

• As work progresses, motorists should expect isolated flagging operations on the Causeway during the nighttime/overnight hours of 8 p.m. to 5 a.m.

• Motorists should expect periodic daytime delays for delivery/removal of materials and equipment, and for crews to remove trash from the roadway.

• Crews continue earthwork on the causeway islands.

Many oversized vehicles are crossing the causeway to assist with recovery efforts on the island. Please be patient as travel may be slower than usual. Bicyclists are encouraged to utilize another mode of transportation to travel the causeway and pedestrians are not permitted on the Sanibel Causeway. Expect shoulder closures throughout the project.

Motorists are reminded to obey the posted speed limit of 20 mph.

Please use caution and watch for workers and construction vehicles entering and leaving the roadway. For further questions, please contact Jennifer Dorning by email at Jennifer.Dorning@dot.state.fl.us or by phone at 239-338-7723.
