Sanibel Causeway

The Sanibel Causeway is a concrete causeway that was built in May 1963 to support the steady flow of traffic to and from Sanibel Island. The concrete structure stretechs across San Carlos Bay and joins onto the island at the east end of Periwinkle Way.

History
It was built to replace the ferry that ran people across to the island. The bridge was replaced by a non- drawbridge, concrete causeway that stretched from Fort Myers all the way till Periwinkle Way. There is a toll booth there, that was partially knocked over during Hurricane Charley. It has since been fixed, and is now considered a historical landmark to mark the hurricane's damage upon the island.
