Town of Floyd to Christiansburg in Montgomery County along Route 8; and
Route 8 in Riner along Childress Road and Tyler Avenue through the City of Radford with a connection to the fiber at Route 11 and Route 114 at Fairlawn.

In total, the project consisted of approximately 159 miles of buried and 27 miles of aerial construction. This project was financed by a National Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP) grant through the National Telecommunications and Information Administration and also part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
