The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has provided the latest progress report on the Sanibel Causeway. Crews are completing the final tasks west of the toll plaza, and the 35 mph speed limit has now been restored in that area. Reduced speed limits remain in effect east of the plaza, and pedestrians are not permitted on the causeway.
Scheduled Work
While all activities are weather-dependent and subject to change, FDOT noted the following updates:
-
Punta Rassa Boat Ramp – Still closed to the public as restoration work continues on the former staging area. The site will be handed back to Lee County later this summer.
-
Bay 3 – Remains closed for Lee County’s ongoing toll equipment work.
-
Signage & Lighting – Installation continues east of the toll plaza.
Safety Reminders
Drivers are urged to be courteous and alert as bicyclists share the road and vehicles enter and exit the public beach access points at Causeway Islands Park.
