Los Angeles

A 2-mile (3.2 km) tunnel in Los Angeles, California began construction in 2017 on a route from Hawthorne along Interstate 405 to Westwood.[13] In May 2018, Musk said that tunnel boring is complete and the tunnel final work is nearly done, will be open in a few months, and that people can try it for free, pending regulatory approval, when it first opens.[27][28]

In May 2018, TBC announced plans to develop a second privately-funded tunnel in the Los Angeles area, a 2.7 mi (4.3 km)-long test tunnel on a north-south alignment parallel to Interstate 405 and adjacent to Sepulveda Boulevard in Los Angeles, near the junction with Interstate 10. It will be a single-tunnel shaft on private property, and will not be utilized for public transportation.[26]:25:50 The tunnel is designed for experimentation, including public customer feedback to help TBC learn so that they can submit more complete and better information to the California environmental regulator for a long-lead-time Environmental Impact Assessment for the broader loop tunnel transportation system that might be designed for the Los Angeles area.[26]

Baltimore

A 12.4-mile (20.0 km) electric-sled dual-bore tunnel has been permitted in Baltimore, Maryland where construction is slated to begin in early 2018. The initial work would extend from Maryland Route 175 to downtown Baltimore terminating near Camden Yards.[16] Utility permits have been issued to extend a full 35 miles (56 km) from Baltimore to Washington DC, between Penn Station in Baltimore to Washington Union Station.[15]

Chicago

A competition to build a high-speed link from downtown Chicago to the soon-to-be-expanded O’Hare Airport had been reduced to just two bidders by March 2018.[23] The Boring Company was selected in June 2018[29] and will now negotiate a contract to be presented to the Chicago City Council. Construction is to be entirely financed by The Boring Company, which is subsequently to maintain and operate the link. The system will transport passengers in automated electric cars carrying 16 passengers (and their luggage) through two parallel tunnels running under existing public way alignments, traveling from block 37 to the airport in 12 minutes, at speeds reaching 125 to 150 miles per hour (200 to 240 km/h), with pods departing as often as every 30 seconds.[30]
