Document Description
The project (11-4B052 Hub 169) is part of the Middle Mile Broadband Network (MMBN) initiative program which includes the installation of broadband infrastructure throughout California within the State Highway System (SHS), including Interstate routes.
As part of the Caltrans/CDT middle mile partnership, District 11 is constructing one network repeater hub for the Middle Mile Broadband Network in Imperial County on SR-78 at post mile (PM) 71.6. Hub 169 is sited off Mitchells Camp Road in Palo Verde, CA 92266. The hub will be located within the Caltrans right-of-way. Connection of conduit to the hub would extend through areas outside of Caltrans right-of-way/ownership and would be completed by CDT; portions outside of Caltrans right-of-way/ownership are not included in this review. The Middle Mile Broadband Network is intended to provide internet access to close key gaps in the rural high speed internet network.
