AI Contract Overview
Frontier Communication plans to install approximately 5,016 linear feet of fiber optic cable along State Route 44 in Shasta County, primarily using horizontal directional drilling beneath Caltrans right of way to expand its existing copper infrastructure with a more reliable fiber network. The project begins at an existing utility pull box near Post Mile R10.956, proceeds east for about 4,123 feet in conduit, crossing under the highway once at Post Mile R11.499, and ends at an existing utility pole near Post Mile R11.739. The line continues eastward with an additional 893 feet of conduit and cable from a utility pole near Post Mile R11.928 to another pole at Post Mile R12.104. Construction activities will be conducted from the roadside shoulder, potentially requiring temporary shoulder closures as work advances, and will involve heavy machinery including a horizontal directional drilling unit, backhoe, bucket truck, vacuum truck, and specialized cable placement and splicing equipment. Soil disturbance is expected at twelve locations — five bore pit/handhole combinations and seven bore pit/dig pits — totaling around 1,200 square feet or 0.03 acres. The project is permitted under Caltrans Encroachment Permit 02-26-X-XX-0234 and is being managed by Caltrans District 2 in Redding, with David DeMar serving as the primary point of contact. The permit was posted on June 9, 2026, and the work is intended to enhance regional telecommunications infrastructure with minimal surface disruption by prioritizing subsurface installation methods.
