With $60 million in federal financial security to boost the project, E Madison bus rapid transit also has a newly updated timeline.

The city says construction is finally gearing up to begin this fall:

PLANNED CONSTRUCTION TIMELINE

  • Fall 2020: Completed final design
  • Spring 2021: Finalize funding
    • After the Small Starts Grant Agreement is executed with the FTA, we’ll move forward with hiring a construction contractor
  • Early 2021: Advertise for construction bids to build the project
    • After a contractor is selected, we will know more about the planned construction sequencing, timeline, and intersection closures
  • Fall 2021: Anticipated construction start
  • 2024: Complete construction and open the RapidRide G Line

CHS reported in April on U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s announcement of a $59.9 million allocation for the $134 million Madison bus rapid transit project.

Seattle’s transportation department says a fall 2021 start should put the much-delayed project on target for a 2024 start of service of the Metro RapidRide G line, a 2.3-mile, 10-station route connecting the waterfront through First Hill and Capitol Hill to Madison Valley.
