When Time and Expertise Are Critical, So Is Travelers Surety: Sanibel Causeway Emergency Repairs

Less than a month after Hurricane Ian left the Sanibel Causeway impassable, traffic access was restored.1
  
Before repairs to the three-mile-long structure could begin, Travelers contractor customers had to post a guarantee, in the form of a performance and payment bond, that they would complete the job and pay the hundreds of subcontractors, vendors and suppliers who would work around the clock to complete this monumental task.

Watch the video to see how having the right surety relationship helped make it happen.

(SPEECH)
NARRATOR: On September 28, 2022, Hurricane Ian struck the West Coast of Florida, causing significant and widespread damage, including the destruction of the Sanibel Causeway.

(DESCRIPTION)
The causeway, a road bridge with two lanes, sits collapsed in the ocean.

(SPEECH)
Access to the Florida mainland had been cut off, leaving over 6,000 residents of Sanibel and Captiva Islands stranded.

(DESCRIPTION)
A supply truck drives along a bridge toward the site of the causeway.

(SPEECH)
Within days, the Florida Department of Transportation awarded an emergency repair contract to a joint venture of two contractors. These contractors were tasked with over-water repairs to the three-mile long structure and had to post a guarantee in the form of a performance and payment bond that they would complete the job and pay the hundreds of subcontractors, vendors, and suppliers that would work around the clock to complete this monumental task.

(DESCRIPTION)
Service trucks drive around a crane on the damaged causeway.

Text, Service Expertise Relationships

(SPEECH)
Travelers wrote that surety bond. Service, expertise, relationships. Travelers underwriting and service expertise, as well as our long-standing relationships with the contractors, allowed us to bond the project quickly.

(SPEECH)
REPORTER: As of today, the Sanibel Causeway is open to general public.

Work on the Sanibel Causeway was completed two weeks ahead of schedule, allowing a convoy of more than 350 utility vehicles to safely cross over the bridge and deliver emergency repairs to help restore, rebuild, and bring families back home.

(DESCRIPTION)

When the most difficult of challenges arise, contractors can trust Travelers to respond.
