The Boring Company (TBC) announced on X yesterday that its TBM, Prufrock-MB1, is 2.5ft (0.76m) into the drive. Prufrock-MB2 will arrive on site in the coming weeks.
The Music City Loop will connect downtown Nashville to Nashville International Airport and lower Broadway to West End. The first segment of the Loop system is expected to be operational by the end of this year.
“Tennessee continues to lead the nation in finding innovative solutions to accommodate growth, and in partnership with The Boring Company, we are exploring possibilities we couldn’t achieve on our own,” said Governor Bill Lee. “I’m grateful for TDOT’s commitment to a forward-thinking, fiscally responsible approach to infrastructure modernisation that will define the future of transportation in our state and beyond.”
TBC president Steve Davis said the company was “grateful for the leadership and hard work of federal, state, and local agencies in bringing this project to a shovel-ready point”.
Today, TBC is holding a recruitment event for the project. In a post on LinkedIn, the company says it is looking for engineers, operations leaders, electricians, welders and mechanics in Nashville.
