The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has provided an update on ongoing improvements to the Sanibel Causeway, noting that reduced speed limits remain in effect east of the toll plaza. For safety reasons, pedestrian access is not permitted on the causeway at this time.
Current Work Activities
According to FDOT, several construction tasks are scheduled, though timelines may shift due to weather or unforeseen conditions:
-
Punta Rassa Boat Ramp – The facility remains open to the public but with limited amenities. Ongoing lighting work at the toll plaza requires crews to use portions of the parking lot, reducing the number of available boat parking spaces. Drivers are urged to use caution around construction vehicles and crews.
-
Signage and Lighting Installation – Crews are currently installing new signage and lighting east of the toll plaza.
Safety Reminders
FDOT is asking all causeway users to remain alert and courteous. Bicyclists continue to share the roadway, and vehicles frequently enter and exit at the public beach access points along Causeway Islands Park.
