47.71 MILES OF NEW FIBER LINE

Deeply Digital is working with Ouray County, Montrose County, Region 10, Town of Ridgway, and the City of Ouray to build over 43 miles of grant-funded fiber from Montrose to Ouray. In addition to the fiber connection for the Public Health Department, this fiber is an open-access project that will bring redundancy and faster internet speeds to the region.

PHASE 1

MONTROSE TO LOGHILL

Phase 1 of this project is to construct a new fiber optic circuit from Montrose, CO to the ridge of Loghill Mesa, near Ridgway, CO. Construction has begun near Loghill Village and is expected to continue until July of 2020. Multiple crews will be working in both Montrose and Ouray counties alongside County Road 1, Uncompahgre Road, Pahgre Road, and Kinikin Road.

PHASE 2

LOGHILL TO OURAY

After construction of Phase 1, our crews will move to extending the new circuit into Ridgway and then on into Ouray. The open-access fiber portion of the project will bring the fiber circuit into two new Carrier Neutral Locations (CNL) in both Ridgway and Ouray. These will act as hubs that other providers can use to connect to the redundant circuit, offering better reliability and speed.

CONSTRUCTION

Our crews will be working on and beside the roadways in your area to lay multiple conduits for fiber optic lines underground. Our crews move around to maintain progress and finish as efficiently as possible. Please bear with us as we work to build this new circuit for your community.
Here are some reasons why we may be working in a different area:

Much of our crew’s progress will depend on the weather. Crews may be working in a single section one day and move to a different section as the weather permits.
We utilize trenching, plowing, boring, and sometimes aerial poles to get our fiber from point A to point B. You’ll find different crews with different equipment throughout the project.
Our construction operates in phases, and you will likely see crews return to some areas. After the digging is complete, we’ll return to pull fiber through the conduit, and finally splice fiber along the route.
No construction is perfect and if there is an inconvenience in your area, we would love to address that for you. You can contact us at (970) 249-8848 to report a problem or learn more.
