Work Commences on Water Line Installation on Eagle Harbor Dr

***Updated 9/24/2025***

Installation of the water line is nearly complete, but expect disruption or potential closure of the entrance to Pritchard Park for final testing of the water line and newly-installed fire hydrant. In the event the main parking lots are inaccessible, there are several spaces available along the curb of the bus turnaround at Taylor Avenue.

The City of Bainbridge Island has issued the Notice To Proceed (NTP) to the contractor installing the water line from Creosote Hill to the Visitor Center. Work has commenced as of mid-August. The project has a completion date of September 30th.

Construction will disturb traffic from Old Creosote Hill Road to the entrance to Pritchard Park. The water line will be installed in the southbound lane of Eagle Harbor Drive,  affecting traffic in both directions as traffic is directed to one lane.  Please check back for updates.
