The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) says crews have shifted traffic onto the permanent lanes on the Sanibel Causeway. While drivers now have two westbound lanes open on McGregor Boulevard, the causeway islands remain closed to the public as work crews continue repairs.

Traffic Updates and Lane Closures
East of the toll plaza, crews are completing an underground drainage crossing, with traffic currently shifted to the south side of McGregor Boulevard from about half a mile before Shell Point Boulevard to just west of Port Comfort Road. As of December 20th two westbound lanes on McGregor Boulevard are expected to open. However, one eastbound lane from the toll plaza to Shell Point Boulevard will be closed for guardrail and shoulder restoration.
Motorists should also prepare for daytime lane closures in both directions of McGregor Boulevard, from Shell Point Boulevard to Punta Rassa Road, as equipment and materials are moved in and out of the work zone.
