Item 5.02     Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
              Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of
              Certain Officers.

         1.    Change in Director Compensation and amendment of 2002 Directors
               Restricted Stock Plan.

         On December 13, 2006, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Dycom
Industries, Inc. ("Dycom") approved, upon recommendation of the Compensation
Committee, the following modifications to Dycom's director compensation policy
and an amendment to the Dycom Industries, Inc. 2002 Directors Restricted Stock
Plan (the "Directors Plan").

(i)   The annual cash retainer received by each director will be increased from
      $18,000 to $30,000 retroactive to November 21, 2006. The additional annual
      cash retainers paid to Board members who serve as committee chairs will
      also be increased as follows:

      o    Audit Committee Chairperson: From $5,000 to $10,000

      o    Compensation Committee Chairperson: From $2,500 to $7,500

      o    Corporate Governance Committee Chairperson: From $2,500 to $5,000

(ii)  For the period from December 13, 2006 to the day immediately prior to the
      fiscal 2007 Annual General Meeting of shareholders, each director will
      receive a supplemental annual cash retainer of $50,000 (the "Supplemental
      Retainer") payable in the form of restricted stock units ("RSUs"), settled
      in shares of Dycom common stock, that vest in three equal annual
      installments commencing on December 13, 2007. Vesting of RSUs will be
      accelerated in the event that the recipient is not nominated or reelected
      to the Board or resigns from the Board with its consent.

(iii) In connection with the Supplemental Retainer, the Board adopted an
      amendment to the Directors Plan providing for the issuance of RSUs and
      allowing recipients to defer the settlement of their RSUs until the
      earlier of (a) their termination of service on the Board for any reason,
      or (b) a date specified by the director.

         A copy of the amended and restated Directors Plan is attached hereto as
Exhibit 99.1.
