Construction Updates

A little under two years since we began, construction on our new fiber network in Platteville is complete! Additional locations were built near the end - please check the map above for final coverage. We are also closing in on 900 customers installed already, which is both exciting & humbling. Thank you to everyone in Platteville for your support in this massive project! We look forward to serving you with better fiber Internet.

As our construction in Platteville continues to move forward, you have probably noticed large equipment and signs of construction on various blocks as we work to connect Platteville’s downtown district. We are nearing completion in this area and we are anticipating construction to wrap up in approximately a month. 

If you have questions regarding construction, email pc@astreaconnect.com.

We continue to make progress in Platteville! Our construction crews have been busy building since the ground thawed and our technician teams’ schedule is filling up with installations for new customers. Despite the busy spring, we’re continuing to push forward and are still scheduling installations and completing construction for new areas.

Be on the lookout for exciting news about a significant milestone we’re about to reach!

Despite some supply chain delays, we have had a great season overall building and connecting neighborhoods in Platteville. Even though the ground is now frozen, we are still actively planning and preparing for our continued construction in the spring.

We have also launched a map to help show you which roads and neighborhoods are ready to connect Astrea service and which ones are on the way! Check out the map below to see where your home is in our construction process!

Astrea is happy to announce that after a few hurdles and supply chain issues, we are back on track to bring service to over a 1,000 homes in Platteville in the next 6 months.

As we work to build new infrastructure, it’s necessary for us to place sections of fiber underground and establish equipment within the right of way on certain properties. If you observe a new stake placed in your yard, it indicates the planned placement of new equipment.

We’ll be sure to restore any damage to the soil and grass as soon as we’re able to. This timing depends on weather conditions and material availability, but please know that we will be cleaning up the mess. Once we do, it’ll be like we were never there at all. Restoration after construction is something our contractors take great pride in.

Here are a few tips to keep the grass looking great after we restore where we built:

  1. Do not mow right away. Allow the new grass to get settled and establish roots.
  2. Don’t mow the grass too short. Keeping the grass a little longer reduces the stress on the grass.
  3. Water regularly. Keeping the area properly watered will help with growth.
  4. Don’t walk on the new grass until after the first mowing.

Last week, Astrea team members had the pleasure of visiting our newest service area: Platteville, WI! Construction in the area is ongoing, and we were able to share updates on the progress and tell everyone a little bit more about who we are.

We enjoyed attending Good Morning Platteville and meeting with staff from the Platteville Regional Chamber, The Platteville Journal, and QueenB Radio!

Construction crews continue to build infrastructure in Southwest Platteville, and installation pre-scheduling for May will begin next week for those in that area. If you live in that area and receive a flyer or postcard from Astrea, please re-enter your information here to let us know you'd like to schedule an installation. 

Progress in other areas of town will take a bit longer due to supply chain constraints. While we hope to see a resolution soon, until key materials are secured we will be unable to share additional availability timeframes.

Astrea, based in Iron Mountain, MI, has planned a significant investment in broadband infrastructure, which will connect over 4,000 commercial and residential addresses throughout Platteville. 
 
“Astrea is excited to invest in the Platteville community,” states Cory Heigl, Vice President of Astrea. “Over the next several months we will be building an extremely reliable and robust fiber network throughout the community,” Cory continues. “It is rare that a community of Platteville’s size, that there isn’t a competitive option for internet services, and we are committed to do just that.”
 
Astrea is in the final stages of engineering and is actively applying for the necessary permits to place the new fiber optic infrastructure. Soon the construction crews will be working throughout town installing the system. “Reliability is crucial,” explains Aaron Burbey, Senior Director of Operations “People depend on connectivity, and when they need help, they expect us to be ready”
