The city of Sanibel reported that Island Inn Road, from the eastern gate to the mid-road cul-de-sac, will be closed on Mondays through Fridays to motorists, pedestrians and cyclists until further notice.

The city is utilizing a portion of Island Inn as a staging area for trucks delivering sand for the Hurricane Ian Beach Recovery & Resilience Project. It reported that it is not safe to co-mingle personal vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians into the truck traffic beyond the marked gate. The trucks will be entering and leaving via Tarpon Bay.

The city reported that once the staging area is no longer needed, the road will be reopened to pedestrians and cyclists, along with the limited access for motorists permitted prior to the closure.
