San Bernadino 1B - AT&T Project

Frontier proposes to install 297.62 miles of new fiber-optic cable, which would extend high-speed internet service to unserved and underserved residents in San Bernardino County. Fiber installations would take place near the communities surrounding Lucerne Valley. In general, proposed fiber routes are located along local roadways; however, some segments are on or adjacent to State Routes 18 and 247. Fiber would be installed using a combination of existing infrastructure, where available, supplemented by new underground conduit and/or aerial installations. New infrastructure would be installed within existing right-of-way and utility easements in developed areas where previous ground-disturbance activities have occurred. Underground conduit would generally be installed at a depth of 18 to 48 inches by either boring, trenching, or plowing, depending on the location and local, state, and federal requirements. In some cases, to avoid existing infrastructure, new underground conduits may be required to be installed significantly deeper.
