Mid-Rivers Fiber Build-Out Plan
The Enhanced A-CAM support program includes an historic 100% build-out obligation in our traditional rural service areas, with an aggressive deadline of December 31, 2028.

This graphic provides a general idea of the massive scope of this obligation, which is spread across 30,000 square miles of some of the most remote areas of Montana.

2024 Construction Plan

This year’s fiber construction will take place in rural areas around Grass Range, Roy, Ekalaka and Lindsay. The map below shows constructed fiber areas in green with the 2024 plan areas in blue. This will be approximately 800 miles of fiber at an estimated cost of over $30 Million.

Future Years’ Plans

• 2025 – Plevna, Richey, & Circle
• 2026 – Circle
• 2027 – Rock Springs & Jordan
• 2028 – Winnett & Melstone

Project plans are tentative and may change based on permitting or right-of-way delays in any area. Crews will also be going back to locations in previously built exchanges to ensure the 100% build-out obligation is met.

Mid-Rivers’ own Engineering crew will be coming to landowners in these areas for right-of-way access to get you fiber services and Unlimited broadband. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us meet these buildout requirements. Our employees will contact landowners and make personal visits at your convenience, to discuss your preferences on proposed routes and other requests. We want to be sure to approach our build-out in a manner that respects your property rights and your wishes as a landowner.
