Mayor thanks causeway construction crews
The city of Sanibel reported that on Dec. 22, the Sanibel Causeway construction crews accomplished the task of completing the roadway to allow for smoother travel to and from the island. The achievement comes less than 15 months after Hurricane Ian destroyed sections of the causeway. Mayor Richard Johnson thanked the crew as it wrapped up things for holiday weekend and celebrated its accomplishment with an employee barbecue. “I’m here this morning to say a huge, huge thank you. I want you to know that as a community we recognize the help that we’re getting from the outside. I drove across the bridge … and what a beautiful ride. It is you and workers that came before you that are responsible for what we have today,” he said.
