A little more info: As of ~7pm Eastern: Damage traced to construction at Gallows Rd and Saic Ct. Damage is due to construction boring and is 10 feet deep. Crews on site. No ETR at this time. Then at ~9pm Eastern (this one we got over the phone from Wave who got it from Fiberlight): they are "routing a spare conduit to check for damages" and continuing to do escavation [sic], no ETR, 432-count fiber Nothing since. Anyone have a picture of the damage? Or live close enough to go take one?
