Contractor strings fiber-optic cable for a major section of statewide high-speed internet network through Midway

Traffic on Leestown Road in Woodford, Scott and Fayette counties was occasionally blocked this week as crews from Hutchins Telecom installed one of the first major sections of the Kentucky Wired high-speed internet network that will eventually reach every county seat and some other sites. In bucket, Scott Hume handles a fiber-optic cable as Dawson Claypool works on the ground; both are from Louisville. The cable is being extended from Frankfort to the University of Kentucky.
