N Madison Ave NE
Current project phase: Design & Permitting
Project Manager: Artemia Settle
Project overview
As part of an ongoing effort to improve electric reliability on Bainbridge Island, we are installing underground cables along N Madison Avenue NE between NE Day Road and SR-305 (see project map on this page). We are also replacing existing electric wire with tree wire on N Madison Avenue NE near Manitou Beach Drive NE. The rest of the existing distribution lines on the east side of N Madison Avenue NE will remain in place and continue to serve the community.
These improvements will increase the Island’s electric reliability by adding redundancy to the system, increasing operational flexibility and allowing crews to restore power more quickly during outages.
We began preliminary work on this project in December 2020. Currently, the project is in the design and permitting phase. We will keep the community informed as the project progresses.
