Liberty VI has started the month of May with three fiber installation projects throughout St. Thomas. The projects in Estate Demerara -Anna’s Fancy and Estate Bolongo Bay are expected to be completed by Thursday, May 21 and Saturday, May 30, respectively. A phase 2 job has already started at Estate Bovoni in St. Thomas and is slated to end on Friday, May 29.
“As we acquire the necessary permits, we are moving forward with our Fiber to the Home construction projects so more locations in the territory can have access to our fiber fast internet,” said Catherine Kling, general manager of Liberty VI. “We will continue informing VI consumers about the next areas where we will schedule Fiber to the Home construction projects.”
The work at Estate Demerara -Anna’s Fancy and Estate Bolongo Bay includes the placement and installation aerial fiber optic cables on utility poles. The Estate Bovoni job entails placing
aerial fiber optic cables and terminals on utility poles along Alfredo Lima Senior Drive, Hill Crest Road, Purple Shop Road, and the Clinton E. Phillips Racetrack. Traffic controls and safety equipment were placed prior to the start of construction. Once completed, 1,227 serviceable homes and businesses overall will have access to Liberty’s Fiber to the Home broadband service. Construction will take place between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Work times may change depending on the work to be performed.
The job are being performed with minimal traffic impact. However, residents and drivers within the area should expect delays due to lane and partial road closures and must exercise caution when traveling on the narrow roadways.
Liberty VI will be providing updates on its website https://www.libertyvi.com/news on when and where the company will be working around the territory so people can plan their daily commutes ahead of time.
