Gypsum Comcast Fiber Optic Project Update

Comcast Fiber Optic Project Work in Gypsum
Update for the Week of 12-5-22

• Comcast Fiber Optic Project seasonal construction wind down. Due to weather, temperatures, and for the safety of the crews, underground and aerial construction work relevant to the project will be completed only as weather permits. Project updates, moving forward, will be sent out only when new areas become serviceable or significant changes to the map occur. 

  Installation work that requires a hard surface crossing (such as driveway crossings) will most likely need to wait until Spring to avoid property and utility damage. Similarly, while crews have completed the vast majority of the network construction throughout the Town, some underground network construction remains. Crews will resume underground work in the Spring as soon as the weather permits.  

• Three new areas of Town are now serviceable. Three areas in the center of the Town have moved from BLUE to GREEN on the map. The following streets and surrounding areas are now serviceable:

- Lost Ln.
- Lost Ln Ct.
- Spring Cir.
- 2^nd St.
- Vista Dr.
- Beacon Ct.
- Barta Ct.
- Sunlight Ct.
- Rangeview Ct.
- Beacon Rd.
- Strohm Cir.
- Cedar Dr.

• GREEN Area Reminder:  When an area on the map changes to GREEN, this indicates that the backbone network is available in the area, it has been tested, and is ready for residential and business connections. However, if the business or residence is more than 150 feet from the network infrastructure, additional construction may be required to complete the connection and install services. As noted above, due to seasonal weather impacts and the potential for property damage, this installation work may have to wait until the Spring.

• Installations requiring underground work have largely stopped for the winter. Several areas of the map were previously in the ORANGE construction phase over the past few weeks while crews addressed some underground construction necessary for residential installation connections. All of these areas have moved back to GREEN on the map and are mostly serviceable. However, some addresses in these areas may require bore work underneath driveways to make installations possible. Given the winter ground conditions, this underground work can’t be completed until the Spring. Our team will be reaching out to the impacted addresses directly to make them aware of their status and provide estimates for when the work might resume.

• Construction in the Brightwater and Siena Lake neighborhoods has stopped for the winter. Given the seasonal weather impacts, construction crews have stopped underground construction work in the Brightwater and Siena Lake neighborhoods. As such, the areas have moved from ORANGE back to RED on the map.

• MAP LEGEND REMINDER
