The project is to install conduit to house fiber optic cable. All work will be performed in the public right of way; there will be no private property work. Contractors will complete underground work, followed by concrete restoration, landscaping, and asphalt asphalt patching.
Please note that there may be rough finish concrete on the project after underground construction is complete; this concrete is just a temporary measure until final concrete restoration is completed.
There will be no parking in active work areas on weekdays from 7am-4pm (with the exception of July 4th). See below for the full construction timeline!
