Elon Musk's Tunnel Vision for Los Angeles
Building a Boring Co. tunnel from Dodgers Stadium to LAX will require navigating mountains, oil fields and deep-pocketed neighbors.
Elon Musk’s promise to whisk travelers by tunnel from Dodger Stadium to Los Angeles International Airport in 10 minutes seems like the Holy Grail for the traffic-clogged metropolis of more than 10 million people.
But not everyone is on board. Building a high-speed tunnel network in Los Angeles means not just digging under mountains and around oil fields but also contending with a notoriously fragmented political landscape. Los Angeles has no shortage of deep-pocketed, legally savvy neighborhood organizations willing to wield some of the most stringent environmental regulations in the U.S. to stop Musk’s Boring Co. and its tunnel-boring machines.
