Description

This project will expand the backbone and connecting segments of the fiber–optic cable infrastructure system deployed by TxDOT. The backbone expansion will also include increasing the capacity of the fiber optic communications, connecting to additional ITS devices/traffic signals, as well as implementing redundant rings within the fiber communications network to maintain communications in the event of fiber cable damage to one area of the network. This project also includes potential for fiber sharing with El Paso County as well as connecting to New Mexico DOT fiber along the I–10 corridor. ITS Master Plan has defined corridors for new fiber cable segments in the region.

* This project supports communications among ITS assets and agencies. However, this project does not contain a physical architecture.
