The existing conduits for JJC will be extended East to Highway 99, Traverse under the freeway at Peach Ave, then travel north along Peach Ave to Golden state and American Ave. There will be nine new 3x5 vaults spaced approximately 600’ apart. All conduits will be at least 4’ below ground. A single cable of 288 strands will be installed along the route to provide connectivity.
