Comcast is expanding its network to bring new or improved broadband service to the community. This work is necessary to install underground conduit, fiber, and related infrastructure. Comcast continuously evaluates opportunities to expand and enhance our network to meet growing demand for reliable, high-speed connectivity.

Construction typically occurs in phases and moves block by block. While work near your home may only take a few days, full neighborhood construction can take several weeks or months depending on weather and conditions. Construction timelines vary depending on terrain, distance to existing Comcast infrastructure, and the timing of agreements with local municipalities. Our goal is always to complete work as efficiently as possible while prioritizing safety, quality, and minimizing neighborhood disruption.

Residents may notice utility markings, trenching, temporary pedestals, or handholes. Residents may also see construction crews and equipment such as directional drilling machines, backhoes, large trucks, trailers, and aerial lift vehicles. All workers will wear safety vests and identification showing they are Comcast employees or authorized contractors.

In some cases, work may occur within utility easements on private property, which are areas of a property designated for utilities and infrastructure such as electric, water, sewer, and communications lines. A public utility easement allows authorized providers, like Comcast, to access that specific area for installation, maintenance, and restoration once the work is complete.

Temporary disturbance can occur. Comcast and its contractors are responsible for restoring impacted areas to their original condition once work is complete.

Before construction begins, professional marking crews identify underground utilities using paint and flags. These markings are critical for safety and help prevent damage to existing infrastructure. Please do not remove them—they allow construction to proceed as quickly and safely as possible.

These above‑ground connection points—called pedestals or "peds"—link homes and businesses to underground fiber lines. They are designed to be secure, durable, and easier to service in the event of an outage. Comcast works to minimize the number of pedestals and place them in the least obtrusive locations possible.

Watch for notifications such as door hangers or fliers. Secure pets if crews need temporary access to backyards. Remain aware of construction activity and equipment. Be patient as crews work to complete construction safely and efficiently.

Network expansion is planned in phases and depends on factors such as existing infrastructure, geography, and local permitting. While we may not be able to build to every address at once, Comcast regularly reviews opportunities for future expansion. As plans develop, we will continue to work with local leaders and municipalities to evaluate next steps.
