No public record names the general contractor yet. It shows here the day one does. ### When is Google Project Skyway (Pine Island) expected to finish? Server Country reports expected completion in 2028. That is a reported target, not a schedule. ### Which carriers serve Google Project Skyway (Pine Island)? No public record names them yet.
