The Shingle Creek Transit and Utility Community Development District Board chose the company from a shortlist of three following a Request for Qualifications for transport infrastructure improvements “that support District priorities, such as the Sunshine Corridor, for Central Florida’s continued growth”.
The Board says TBC’s proposal best addressed the district’s request for “an innovative, future-ready, point-to-point solution”.
It will now continue collaboration with local stakeholders and explore the operational and financial feasibility of TBC’s proposal.
TBC is also building the Music Loop in Nashville. In its third blog on the project, the company says it is preparing Prufrock-MB1 to begin tunnelling.
“Prufrock-MB1 arrived onsite and was installed prior to December 1. Since then, the team has worked intensively to complete final preparations and Prufrock-MB1 is ready to begin tunnelling,” the blog says.
Work has also begun on the second machine, Prufrock-MB2, which will arrive in Nashville in March.
TBC says 32 of the 37 permits required to begin tunnelling have been secured and the remaining five are under review.
Tennessee state senator Jack Johnson toured the Vegas Loop with TBC last week.
