What to Expect

  • There may be traffic lane and sidewalk closures.
  • Work on South Coast Highway will be conducted on the northbound shoulder between Aliso Way and Eastline Drive, and southbound shoulder between Vista Del Sol and Eastline Drive. 
    Minor traffic delays and restricted parking can be expected.
  • You may not be able to enter/exit your driveway or garage temporarily. Please read hand delivered notices to determine if you are directly impacted by restricted driveway access.
  • New cables will be installed on existing aerial facilities, as well as new terminals. Cables will range in size from ¼ inch to ¾ inch in diameter.
    • During construction you will notice fiber optic cables coiled up at poles as pictured in Figure 1. This is only a temporary situation.
    • When the work is complete those coils will be put in a case that is attached to the existing cables. When the job is complete everything will look neat and organized.
    • Coils of cable between poles will also be attached to the existing cables for a clean orderly appearance as shown in Figure 2.
  • New vaults may be placed underground in various locations to avoid placing new equipment above ground.
