Sanibel, Fla. – As a part of the 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.

• Beginning Thursday, September 14 through Friday, September 22 (excluding weekends), from 6:30 - 11 a.m., motorists leaving Sanibel should expect eastbound McGregor Boulevard to be reduced to one lane from just east of the toll plaza to Port Comfort Road. This closed lane will be used as a dedicated lane for concrete delivery trucks arriving to the project.  Concrete trucks will be escorted by FHP when using this lane. 
• During this time, motorists traveling to Sanibel should expect FHP to intermittently stop traffic to allow concrete trucks to cross westbound travel lanes to reach the staging area.
• Please plan ahead for delays.

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.
