Construction

In the following days, MetroNet’s contractors will begin constructing their fiber-optic network. This includes directional boring and the installation of overhead wires on existing poles. Work will primarily be routed in the same areas as existing electrical and communication wires.
Restoration will be completed after work is complete within the specific area as weather permits.
