In 2003, Syringa Networks was authorized to install a fiber optic cable line along Hwy 75 in the Wood River Valley. The proposed action is to issue a new 30-year special use permit authorizing continued use of the existing fiber optic cable.
Location
Existing cable route on FS Lands is north along Hwy 75 from Lake Creek north of Ketchum to a communications site above Galena Pass. The Galena Toll Road route is used from Horse Cr to Galena Pass.
