While that road project in Keene is wrapping up, workers on another job are hoping to finish before snow hits the north country.

White Mountain Communications Corporation has been hired by the state to run underground fiber-optics and power lines to the top of Mount Washington.

The 16 thousand foot path follows that of the Cog Railway that runs up the mountain..

Dennis Tupic, president and owner of White Mountain Communications, tells NHPR's Mark Bevis that workers have their backs to the wall, because the cold weather's coming.
