Several U.S. cities could soon see major underground transportation upgrades led by billionaire Elon Musk\u2019s The Boring Company (TBC).<\/p>\n
In a Tuesday post on X, the construction company named the winners of its nationwide “Tunnel Vision Challenge,” naming New Orleans, Louisiana, and Dallas, Texas, as candidates for new transportation systems.<\/p>\n
“Thanks again to all of the participants \u2014 your enthusiasm and positivity has been inspiring for the TBC team,” the company wrote.<\/p>\n
Baltimore, Maryland, was initially named as a winner, but TBC later announced Wednesday that the project will not move forward following early discussions.<\/p>\n

The next phase will involve collaboration with local officials and regulators, along with geotechnical borings to determine feasibility.<\/p>\n
In a Wednesday update, TBC provided additional details on its early discussions with local leaders in both Dallas and New Orleans, saying both proposed projects had “great initial meetings.”<\/p>\n
Two additional cities \u2014 Hendersonville, Tennessee, and San Antonio, Texas \u2014 remain under consideration as discussions continue.<\/p>\n

The challenge, which launched in January, invited proposals for a one-mile tunnel concept, with the winning concept promised a free build.<\/p>\n
Separately, TBC was recently selected to begin negotiations on a proposed underground transit system connecting Universal Orlando\u2019s parks.<\/p>\n
The company\u2019s most notable project is the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) Loop, which opened in 2021 after about a year of construction.\u00a0<\/p>\n
