Gigaclear’s rollout to 2,500 homeowners in Lydney, in the Forest of Dean, is on track after specialist engineering works that drilled under a historic railway line in the town.
The work involved sending a horizontal directional drill under the Dean Forest Steam Railway in Hill Street. Fibre optic cables blown through ducting will enable Gigaclear to extend its network across the town and to communities including Viney Hill, Newerne, Tutnalls and Blakeney Hill.
Gigaclear GM Jamie Flint said: “This operation is critical in enabling us to take full fibre broadband to Lydney and the wider Forest of Dean.
“Not only does it connect the east and west sections of our build in the region, but it also helps us establish a resilient network around the Forest of Dean as part of our network build works for our Fastershire funded projects.”
