The work will also include installation of approximately 244 feet of 30-inch diameter steel casing bored under Interstate 5, two road crossings, four connections to existing pipelines, construction of a PRV vault and mainline meter vault, and installation of fiber optic conduit, cable and vaults.

Additional roadway work includes the construction of roadway stabilization and guardrail repair for an approximate 400-foot section of Josh Wilson Road.
