Sanibel Boat Ramp to partially reopen
The city of Sanibel announced the partial reopening of the Sanibel Boat Ramp starting on Nov. 8.
It reported that the milestone marks significant progress in the ongoing Sanibel Boat Ramp Dock Replacement Project that began on Sept. 8. Although the project is not yet fully complete, one half of the ramp will be open and available for public use.
The remaining work is anticipated to be finished in the coming weeks, weather permitting. Construction crews will remain on-site to complete final touches and ensure that the facility meets the city’s standards for safety, durability and accessibility.
Boaters and visitors are strongly encouraged to use caution when accessing the site, as workers and equipment will still be present in active work zones. The city asks that all users respect posted signage and barricades for their safety and the safety of those completing the project.
Once construction is complete, the fully upgraded dock facilities will offer enhanced safety, improved accessibility and a more user-friendly experience for Sanibel’s boating community. The replacement of the aging wooden dock structures with new, durable materials represents a major investment in maintaining the city’s marine infrastructure and supporting recreational access to Sanibel’s waterways.
The city appreciates the community’s patience and cooperation throughout the project and looks forward to welcoming boaters back to a safer and improved facility.
