The project will relocate <br />underground all of the overhead utility lines and remove utility poles on Middlefield Road and on <br />portions of adjoining side streets within the project limits. The project will construct all the <br />underground facilities (duct structures, junction boxes, manholes, vaults, etc.) necessary for the <br />relocation of the overhead lines.
