The Bureau of Street Lighting of the City of Los Angeles is undertaking a joint-builder project to install fiber optic cables beneath the Martin Luther King Blvd. underpass below Interstate 110 at post-mile 19.5 in Los Angeles County as part of the Middle Mile Broadband Network. The installation will be conducted using horizontal directional drilling to minimize surface disruption, with a single boring pit located within Caltrans right-of-way and a maximum excavation depth of six feet. This effort aims to enhance regional broadband infrastructure by integrating fiber connectivity through a sensitive transportation corridor.
