The work in individual streets is more time consuming and it would've been crazy not doing that in parallel with the trunk build.
See attachments, all empty ducts apart from core network fibre that runs through some of it down the main road route, and some of those areas aren't connected to anything at all, in the first picture there's duct to properties which goes nowhere else.

I lived in a Nynex area and the motto seemed to be to do it as quickly as possible so lots of teams working in parallel. The longer it takes to lay the cable, the longer it took for Nynex to get subscribers' money in so on paper it made sense to do it speedily. In practise this meant entire roads with poor pavements whillst cable was laid and unhappy residents. That was when it was for cable TV, I think residents will be far more forgiving these days as it is also for speedy broadband.
