NASSAU, Bahamas --- Cable Bahamas will be carrying out emergency fibre optic rerouting exercises in various communities in western New Providence commencing Wednesday, March 20 and ending Tuesday, March 26, due to the ongoing Airport Gateway road project.

This extensive work will affect cable subscribers from Indigo Estates to Old Fort Bay in the western portion of New Providence. The work schedule has been designed to minimize disruption to services.

Work will commence on March 20 at 9:00 p.m. and at 11:00 p.m. every other night of the relocation project. Services will be restored to homes as work progresses through the early morning hours. All cable-based services including cable TV, Internet and voice services will be interrupted while this work is being carried out in each area.

The primary focus of work will be along the six-mile segment of JFK Drive, starting at the new roundabout at Bethel Avenue, heading west, and ending at Lynden Pindling International Airport.

This fibre optic cable rerouting process is caused by a diversion associated with the road works tied to the Airport Gateway Project. Over a six-night period, Cable Bahamas will move the individual fibre optic feed serving the communities in the western portion of New Providence.
