Notes

Total length of corridor fiber project is 277 miles. WisDOT received conduit/dark fiber along entire length of I-94 corridor in ROW exchange with carrier. Fiber is valued at $19,950 per mile and is included in cost estimate. WisDOT also received conduit/dark fiber for spurs into three locations along the mainline in other exchange agreements. Thus the cost per mile for conduit and fiber design and installation along the corridor is significantly less than a typical fiber optic design/build project.
