Peek-a-boo. Here's one more selfie right where they left me, at the connection point between the 1st Street Tunnel in #BloomingdaleDC and the newly mined Northeast Boundary Tunnel.

@jonesy77 Bless you, Derrick Jones! You were always my favorite. #BloomingdaleDC

[Lucy Diggs Slowe @LucyTBM]

Hey, anyone remember me? I mined the 1st Street Tunnel and my cutterhead was abandoned in 2017. Now it's time to break me into pieces and remove me from the tunnel so they can complete the connection to the Northeast Boundary Tunnel.

And one final shout-out to my namesake, Lucy Diggs Slowe - a strong woman in her own right, and the best name ever for a TBM.

[Lucy Diggs Slowe @LucyTBM]

Big thank you to the residents of #BloomingdaleDC who put up with this project. May you now reap the benefits! - Lucy

[Lucy Diggs Slowe @LucyTBM]

Throw another burger on the grill for me! Thrilled to have been a part of this project - providing flood relief for years to come! https://t.co/M7JAsbN9tV

@eclisham @BerthaDigsSR99 Congrats to Bertha! You must have missed my announcement then, back in 2015: https://t.co/g6ZIXiJBXT

[Lucy Diggs Slowe @LucyTBM]

@eclisham @driller_mike I know it's the most overused pun in our work, but have to say it, zoning is boring.

[Lucy Diggs Slowe @LucyTBM]

Congratulations Nannie! A job well done. https://t.co/gvcpLIB7lx

[Nannie @NannieTBM]

And we have lift off! My 90 ton cutterhead is above ground again. Mission accomplished.

[Lucy Diggs Slowe @LucyTBM]

No First Street Tunnel Project work is scheduled over the holidays. Thank you #BloomingdaleDC for your patience and support in 2016!

[Lucy Diggs Slowe @LucyTBM]

Congrats to my sister TBM! https://t.co/1Tf6FN8b4j

1 year and 1 day after my journey started, I have completed the Anacostia River Tunnel. Take a time lapse look at my handiwork.

@jonesy77 #BloomingdaleDC got 1.5-2" of rain in under 2 hours, and 250K of stormwater was stored in my tunnel, then pumped out. (2/2)

[Lucy Diggs Slowe @LucyTBM]

@jonesy77 I should be fully operational later this summer. However, I've already been tested. Remember that storm July 19? (1/2)

[Lucy Diggs Slowe @LucyTBM]

@jonesy77 Oh my, how did I miss this tweet?

[Lucy Diggs Slowe @LucyTBM]

Sad to say the 2 other most familiar faces on my project, John and Tom, are leaving. Thanks for a job well done!
