726-6BB-1166 - Fiber Optic Installation Project

Caltrans has approved an encroachment permit for Crown Castle Fiber LLC to install fiber optic infrastructure within the State right-of-way along State Route 14 at postmile T27 in Santa Clarita, Los Angeles County. The project involves open trench excavation in the dirt parkway to lay five feet of fiber optic cable, construct a 30-inch by 48-inch vault, and install a 3-inch riser connected to utility pole #4093218E. Excavation will reach a maximum depth of 42 inches, with an average width of 12 inches and a maximum length of five feet. No existing public utilities will be relocated, and no additional right-of-way will be acquired for this work. The permit is issued under contract title 726-6BB-1166, with a posted date of July 2, 2026, and is managed by Caltrans District 7 in Los Angeles. Primary point of contact for the project is Mojgan Abbassi, Senior Environmental Scientist, reachable via phone or email. The work is confined to the existing State right-of-way and does not involve any new acquisitions or utility relocations. All activities are intended to be completed with minimal disruption to public infrastructure and the surrounding environment.
