The purpose of this project is for ATC to replace a manual switch along their line with a remotely operated switch. A remotely operated switch provides safer more efficient access to activate and deactivate their telecommunication lines.
Location
Access will be from M-28 to Middletown Rd (FS Rd 3081) to the right-of-way. Access will be down the ROW and along Dishpan Rd (FS Rd 3364).
