The Sanibel Causeway Islands Project

We also have a post about the Sanibel Causeway Toll.

Sanibel Causeway Islands Project Plans

The contracts are part of a larger project on the Sanibel Causeway islands. Plans approved by the Board in December call for the shoring up of erosion-prone areas of Islands A and B, which are part of the Sanibel Causeway. Beach sand also will be added along parts of these islands. In addition, enhancements will be made to upland portions of both islands, including the creation of structured parking, new restrooms on Island A, additional picnic pavilions, pathways and landscaping, and the addition of other park amenities.

In preparation for the project, in July of 2021, Lee County crews removed Australian pines, which is an invasive exotic species. They will be replaced with native trees.

Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson, Inc. was awarded the contract for the construction engineering and inspection (CEI) services for the shoreline stabilization and upland improvements of Islands A and B.

Spectrum Contracting, Inc. was awarded the contract to provide construction services for the stabilization of the shoreline of Sanibel Causeway Island B.

The construction contract for the stabilization of causeway Island A and upland improvements for Islands A and B will be brought to the Board of the County Commissioners at a later date.

The $8.5 Million Dollar Sanibel Causeway Islands Project

The $8.5 million project ultimately will enhance both Island A and Island B using Tourist Development Taxes and state funds. The county plans to keep construction impacts to a minimum and complete the project by summer 2024.
