The City of Salina has announced that fiber optic line work will continue in parts of the city this week.
Eli Drilling will continue placing Bluebird underground fiber optic lines. According to information from the city, crews will be working on the west side of Broadway Boulevard from W. South Street to Franklin Street.
Work then is scheduled to moved to the intersection of S. Ohio Street and Belmont Boulevard, where Eli Drilling plans to place conduit on the south side of Belmont Boulevard toward E. Magnolia Road.
Work in these two areas is expected to be completed on Friday.
It will be in grass areas with minimal sidewalk closures. No road closures are expected at this time.
The fiber optic cabling and related facilities will connect existing cell towers and future 5G cell towers, providing exceptional cell service and high speed networks.
