8-Fiber Map.pdf

This is a fiber optic cable and duct bank ownership map for the Harris County Toll Road Authority (HCTRA) and related Harris County roadways, dated October 2025. The map illustrates the infrastructure layout and ownership structure of fiber optic communications systems across the HCTRA network, including dual duct banks, single duct banks, and multi-duct conduit systems. The infrastructure is owned and operated by either HCTRA or TxDOT, with various facilities identified by location including Hardy South Plaza, Sam North Plaza, Sam Central Plaza, Sam Southwest Plaza, Sam Southeast Plaza, East Plaza, Northeast Plaza, Jester Maintenance Yard, and Henry Road Maintenance Yard. The map provides a typical duct bank layout and an alternate duct bank option, establishing the physical configuration of fiber optic cable infrastructure and duct bank ownership across the toll road system.

The map serves as a reference document for the related Invitation to Bid (ITB) for Maintenance and Associated Services for Fiber Optic Cable Communications Systems and Related Items for the Harris County Toll Road Authority, which is scheduled to commence approximately March 1, 2026, for a one-year term. The document identifies ownership and operational responsibilities between HCTRA and TxDOT, distinguishing between systems designated for HCTRA Tolling and ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems) functions, with ownership allocations critical to determining maintenance and service responsibilities under the forthcoming maintenance contract.
