Investigation into Longitudinal Placement of Fiber-Optic Cable in Interstate Right-of-Way in Louisiana

This study investigates the possibility of permitting fiber-optic cable to be placed in Interstate right-of-way in Louisiana. The study serves as a precursor to a possible Request for Proposals to install fiber-optic cable in Interstate right-of-way in the state. In executing the study, the author first reviewed existing conditions and regulations governing the placing of utilities in Interstate right-of-way in Louisiana. This was paralleled by a survey among all State Departments of Transportation and among telecommunications companies with ties in Louisiana regarding their opinions of permitting fiber-optic cable in Interstate highway right-of-way in the state. The information from the review of existing conditions and the survey were analyzed and evaluated to generate a recommended policy for the state.
