Information for
Boaters, Kayakers & Other Recreational Bay Users Construction has begun to replace the bridges at the
Sanibel Causeway. During this time the protection of the
environment, and the safety of construction workers in the bay and
recreational bay users is a priority. Please slow your speed down
and abide by the no-wake zone signs at the construction site.
Boats can create dangerous conditions for construction workers.
Operation of boats or personal recreational watercraft in close
proximity to the construction zone can result in distractions and
disruptions to the construction activity and could result in
unnecessary hazards for the public and the construction
workers.
To ensure the
safety of all recreational bay users traveling within 500 feet of
the bridge, please maintain a safe distance from the yellow
turbidity barriers and any buoys marking areas where construction
is being conducted. It is further requested that all recreational
watercraft maintain 300 feet from any of the crane and equipment
barges.
