Eversource is working on a new submarine line between Falmouth and Martha's Vineyard that requires installation of duct banks in Falmouth roads and the Shining Sea Bikeway between Stephens Lane and Mill Road/Surf Drive.
October 21 Update
This week crews will begin installing a series of manholes along the Shining Sea Bikeway, between Ter Heun Drive and Locust Street. Crews will continue vegetation removal. This work will continue through the winter months and is anticipated to be completed by spring of 2025.
On Surf Drive, crews will be working along the roadway to install a dewatering system ahead of construction that will begin in November.
The Depot Avenue parking lot, located at 81 Locust St. is closed for the duration of this work. See below for a suggested detour route for users of the bike path during the closure.
Approved work hours are 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday to Friday. Occasional work may extend beyond the approved hours due to unforeseen circumstances, based on approval from municipal staff. For real time construction updates, please view online interactive construction map.
At this time, the construction will not interrupt your electrical service, and all people working on this project are Eversource-approved contractors and carry proper identification. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the project, please call 1-833-836-0302 or email at ProjectInfoMA@eversource.com.
Eversource is committed to deliver reliable energy to our customers and will begin constructing in early December, pending town approval, on a new 23-kV underground and submarine line between Falmouth and Martha’s Vineyard. Eversource is committed to open lines of communication and notifying the public about the project and pending construction. If you would like to learn more about the Project, please contact them.
