Construction work to install new high-speed Internet
and electrical cables under Second and Pratamnak roads will continue for
another four months, city officials said.
Work began in February on laying fiber-optic cable
for CAT Telecom’s new “fibre to the home” project. On July 18 crews were
working on seven connection stations between Second Road and Soi 3 to
Pratamnak Road.
In addition to the data cables, electrical
substations are being added to ensure steady 22 kilovolts of power for
the city and remove many of the ugly overhead cables.
Work on those seven areas is expected to finish sometime this month with
the entire first-phase of CAT’s network expected to be laid by November.
City officials said traffic signs and warnings have
been installed to inform drivers of the construction.
