Netsync Fiber will be installing new underground conduit facilities and fiber optic cables and associated materials in the 44th Ward Area. Work will take place in the coming weeks starting Tuesday, June 1, 2021. These improvements will be to provide high speed internet and data capabilities for The Chicago Public Schools.
Type of Construction: The fiber optic cables will be installed underground within the Public Right of Ways via open cut trenching and directional boring. Following the underground conduit installation, fiber placement and splicing will be performed to complete the project. If pedestrian or vehicle traffic needs to be altered to accommodate construction activities, barriers and signage will be utilized to ensure the safety of all in the area. Any disturbed areas will receive immediate temporary restoration with permanent restoration to previous or better condition to be performed later as coordinated with The City of Chicago.
