Arcadian Infracom Capitol Span 1 Middle Mile Broadband Installation

The Arcadian Infracom Capitol Span 1 Middle Mile Broadband Installation project, managed by Caltrans District 4 in the Bay Area/Oakland region, involves the installation of approximately 49.2 miles of broadband infrastructure. The scope of work includes the deployment of conduit, fiber optic cable, markers, and vaults for fiber splicing and maintenance access. This infrastructure will be installed along U.S. Route 101 and Interstate 680, spanning from San Jose to Alamo across Santa Clara, Alameda, and Contra Costa Counties. The primary objective is to establish the necessary middle mile connectivity to link with a third-party operated Last Mile Broadband Network, ultimately providing internet access to local homes, businesses, and communities. The project is classified under NAICS code 237130 and is currently listed as a forecast posted on September 17, 2025. According to the Notice of Exemption signed by Branch Chief Brian Gassner, the project is exempt from certain regulatory requirements under Senate Bill 156, as the infrastructure is installed underground or aerially along existing poles within the right-of-way. Administrative oversight is provided by Caltrans District 04, with Sarah K. Wright serving as the Senior Environmental Scientist Specialist. Specific performance locations include designated post-mile ranges on Route 101 and Interstate 680 within the three identified California counties.
