The Boring Company's Las Vegas Tunnel Is Nearly 50 Percent Complete
According to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, Elon Musk's Boring Company is now about 50% complete with its underground tunnel. It's about six football fields in length. Teslarati reports: The Boring Company officially started tunneling for the people mover after a ceremonial groundbreaking event on November 15. In just two months, the project is nearly halfway completed. The company's Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) has been 40 feet underground for months and is working to drill two, one-mile-long tunnels. Boring Company began shipping portions of the TBM to the site in Las Vegas in September. Since then, the project has really started to take shape. The project cost the Boring Company $52.5 million and is expected to connect the Las Vegas Convention Center to popular Las Vegas hot spots. Downtown Las Vegas, the Strip, and McCarran International Airport will all be destination options for riders. The mover is expected to transport an estimated 4,400 people per hour. The Las Vegas project is just one of five projects the Boring Company has listed on its website. A Livestream of the Boring Company's Las Vegas Tunnel Project is available for viewing here.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
