Brentwood, Tenn., expanding fiber optic infrastructure along city’s western edge
(UI) — In a wooded area off Robert E. Lee Lane, a chain-link fence surrounds a City of Brentwood water tank. The site’s remote location ensures it doesn’t distract from the community’s pastoral landscape, but it also provides communication challenges when the weather turns bad.
To keep this important, though little seen, facility operating at its full potential, the city will soon begin work extending fiber optic access to that area. The Brentwood City Commission awarded a contract to Kane Konnections LLC to complete the $266,068 project.
The company will install an underground fiber optic cable along Longstreet Drive and Robert E. Lee Lane, on the western side of Franklin Road. Once completed, the fiber optic cable will boost the city’s ability to communicate with that facility. Work should begin Monday, Dec. 4, and it is expected to take 6-8 weeks to complete.
The project should not disrupt traffic flow in that area.
