The Boring Company has released its first bimonthly update on Music City Loop, offering new details on construction progress, permitting, and community engagement as the high-speed underground transit system takes shape in Nashville.
New Details From Lot 16
Work is underway at the initial Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) launch site near the State Capitol. The site, known as Lot 16, will support two TBMs. Crews have completed an exploratory pit to study site geology, secured grid power in partnership with NES to avoid reliance on diesel generators, and set up a fully equipped operations hub with trailers, a safety center, and control systems. Shoring and excavation for the launch pit have also advanced, while conveyor system components are being installed ahead of tunneling.
