725-6US-3096- Trench and Install Fiber Conduit

Caltrans District 7 in Los Angeles has approved an encroachment permit for Charter Communications to install a 4-foot length of 3-inch PVC conduit for fiber optic cable along State Route 27 at post mile R17.86. The work involves trenching with a maximum depth of 48 inches, an average width of 12 inches, and no relocation of public utilities or acquisition of additional right-of-way. The project is confined to a minimal footprint and is intended solely for the placement of new fiber infrastructure without disrupting existing services or infrastructure. The permit authorizes this specific incursion into the state highway right-of-way under strict dimensional limits to ensure safety and compliance with transportation regulations. The project is formally recorded under the title 725-6US-3096-Trench and Install Fiber Conduit and is managed by Caltrans District 7, with Mojgan Abbassi, Senior Environmental Scientist, serving as the primary point of contact. The solicitation was posted on December 31, 2025, and all work will be carried out within the City of Los Angeles in Los Angeles County. No public bidding or set-aside provisions are applicable as this is an approved encroachment permit rather than a competitive procurement. The project reflects a routine utility improvement initiative aligned with broadband expansion goals while maintaining full compliance with state transportation and environmental standards.
