This initial phase requires some of the most intensive construction work that the fiber build will see. We first have to lay the foundation for the network, which involves running fiber optic cabling underground from our central office at the Clear Creek Communications campus. Crews will be using industrial equipment to bore tunneling 6 feet under the ground alongside roadways – this protects the fiber cables from weather-related damage, leading to more reliable connections. Flaggers will help to control the flow of traffic as significant work is being done.
