Fort Myers, FL, March 16, 2007 - The Sanibel Causeway navigation channel for
Bridge A, the drawbridge, will be closed during the day from 7:00 AM to 5:00
PM on TUESDAY, MARCH 20th, 2007.   For the safety of the public and the
workers, the channel will be closed between the above hours.  The channel

complete concrete work.
 
There will be a safety zone established around the channels, no boaters will
be allowed within 500' of the work zone and the coastguard will enforce
this.

It is imperative that boaters use an alternative route such as Bridge C (the
