Sanibel Island Causeway
All three Causeway bridges are being rebuilt as part of a multiyear construction project,
which is scheduled to be finished by the first half of 2007.
For more details, visit the Sanibel
Causeway and Bridge Reconstruction Project website.
Once you reach the end of the Causeway bridge, and are on the island,
you'll be on Causeway Road until you get to Periwinkle Way.
The Visitors' Center is on this street.
After Periwinkle, the road continues as Lindgren Blvd.
Cyclists staying in Fort Myers may prefer to ride the Causeway bridges
rather than pay Sanibel's parking rates.
While the new causeway is being constructed, there is little or no shoulder to ride on,
but bikes are definitely allowed.
However, pedestrians are not allowed on the bridges.
The bridge toll to Sanibel is $6 for cars, $2 for motorcycles, and free for bicycles.
For larger vehicles, the fee is calculated at $3 per axle.
There is no toll when leaving the island.
