Yes, the Sanibel Causeway bridge has been fully reopened for some time. Following the devastating damage from Hurricane Ian in 2022, the bridge was initially restored for emergency use within weeks, but a permanent, multi-year reconstruction project was required to make it resilient against future storms. As of March 2026, all four lanes of the causeway are open to regular traffic. The project was officially completed in late 2025, and it now features reinforced roadway shoulders, improved drainage, and enhanced "resiliency measures" such as massive rock "rip-rap" to prevent sand erosion during high-surge events. While the bridge is open, you will still see ongoing "beautification" and final landscaping work along the causeway islands. It is important to note that the speed limit is strictly enforced (often 20-35 mph in construction zones), and a toll is still required to cross onto the island, which is now handled entirely through electronic "LeeWay" or "SunPass" transponders—no cash is accepted at the toll plaza.
