Copper Valley Telecom is launching a Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) project along McCarthy Road, covering the stretch from the Copper River Bridge to Mile 56. Serving over 100 homes and cabins, this initiative will provide a minimum 100/100 Mbps service, this project is funded entirely by the USDA ReConnect 4 grant without requiring matching funds.
The planned route for this project will run along the Department of Transportation’s right-of-way and extend to CVT’s Central Office in McCarthy. While this project follows McCarthy Road, it does not encompass fiber deployment for the town of McCarthy. The Fiber-to-the-Home initiative within McCarthy will be addressed in a future project.
We’re currently conducting environmental impact studies in the area, which must receive approval from State and Federal agencies before construction can proceed. Our projected start date for the project remains set for the Summer of 2026. Alongside governmental approval, we also rely on the support of local residents in the region, from the Copper River Bridge to Mile 56. If you reside in this area, please visit our website and provide us with your address and contact details. This ensures accurate accounting of your property in the McCarthy Road Fiber-to-the-Home project. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
