Unless I am mistaken, that is an old legacy route. I don't think it is a new build. I know at one time Hibernia was selling its undersea link from Halifax to Boston as a back up for that route. On the other hand, there have been some Canadian carrier builds recently so may be it's not legacy.
No, this is not a legacy route. It was a new route constructed in 2012 as part of the Federal BTOP ARRA program. It is a 1,100 mile high strand count fiber ring around Maine with multiple border crossings. Dozens of carriers are using it. -- Fletcher Kittredge GWI
