SR 520 Bellevue Way Live Fiber Relocation for Verizon and Comcast

For the rebuild of the SR 520 Bellevue Way overpass, Cannon relocated four live Verizon and Comcast fiber optic cables without an outage or a splice. Phase one, completed ahead of schedule, exposed 300 feet of CDF encased fiber duct bank, removed the CDF and PVC from around the four live cables, set four utility poles, placed strand and raised the cables from underground to aerial so the overpass could be torn down and rebuilt. Phase two placed a new six-way fiber optic duct bank in the roadway and across the new overpass.

• 300 feet of CDF encased fiber duct bank exposed
• CDF and PVC removed from four live fiber optic cables
