5/20 Pine Street Construction Update

The first step in burying the communications lines on Pine Street was completed recently as workers dug a tunnel underneath the street with a directional boring machine. The machine creates a small tunnel the length of the street (over 400 ft. for the first section) and then a large orange PVC conduit is pulled through the tunnel. The conduit will eventually house the power lines once the project is completed.

This phase of the Brock Commons project has been generously underwritten by Sprint Corporation.

Boring machine works beneath the ground South on Pine St. Boring machine comes through at intersection fo Pine St. and Madison St.
