C Spire has started construction on a 243-mile-long fiber-optic cable route from Meridian, Mississippi, to Homewood.
Contractors for the broadband and business services division of the diversified telecommunications and technology services company began work on the multimillion-dollar project late last month and it is expected to be completed next year.
The project, which involves placing conduit, ducting and fiber-optic cable underground, will span six counties – Lauderdale in Mississippi – and Sumter, Greene, Tuscaloosa, Jefferson and portions of Bibb in Alabama, along U.S. Highways 80 and 11.
