Elon Musk's Boring Company to unveil tunnel project in Nashville
Elon Musk's The Boring Company and Tennessee state officials will announce plans for an underground tunnel connecting downtown Nashville to the airport along Murfreesboro Pike at a press event Monday. State of play: The project will begin with startling speed, according to sources briefed on the plan. The goal is to begin work on the tunnel in the days shortly after the announcement, which is notable because aspirational Boring Company projects in other cities have been slow to launch. Sources say the state Building Commission will hold a meeting next week following Monday's announcement to give the project the initial approval necessary to begin work. The plan is for work to begin at a state-owned lot downtown. Why it matters: If successful, the tunnel will help solve a transportation problem confronting Nashville as the city's airport sets passenger records seemingly every year. The project is also Musk's foray into Nashville. Musk, who owns The Boring Company, is one of the world's richest and most recognizable businesspeople. Dig in: Under the plan, Teslas would use the tunnel underground to taxi passengers between the airport and downtown. The Boring Company touts its state-of-the-art burrowing technology, which allows it to dig tunnels quickly. In Las Vegas, the company has already built an underground loop, with more tunnels under construction. Zoom in: The tunnel's path would use state routes, extending from the airport to downtown along Murfreesboro Pike and heading north to the state capital. Context: Nashville has long considered mass transit lines to the airport, including as part of the failed 2018 referendum. The intrigue: The project creates a political hot potato for Mayor Freddie O'Connell and other Metro leaders. Musk is an unpopular figure with Democrats, and Metro is led mostly by Democrats. Metro Council members figure to take issue with the state plunging into such an impactful project without local approval. The project would rely primarily on state permission, since Murfreesboro Pike is a state road. It's unclear if Metro agencies would need to sign off on permits related to utility work, stormwater and emergency access for first responders. O'Connell's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Metro D Line reopens Saturday after 70-day closure
The Metro D line, also known as the Purple Line, reopens Saturday after a 70-day closure for construction on the first phase of a rail expansion project beneath Wilshire Boulevard. The first phase of the extension project is budgeted at $3.7-billion to add three stations at Wilshire/La Brea, Wilshire/Fairfax and Wilshire/La Cienega to connect downtown Los Angeles with the Westside. That phase is 98% complete, Metro said, and is expected to open later in 2025. Station finishes, street restoration and testing remains. During the recent closure, the transit agency worked to connect communication and power systems between the existing line and new sections. Tracks have been laid, lighting has been installed and tunneling has been completed for that section, according to the transit agency. 'Staff and contractors are now working 24/7 to connect the older portions of the subway with the the newest section ... making sure that all power systems, train control, ventilation and signalization all work and function as one common and safe system,' Metro Board Chair Fernando Dutra said during a board meeting Thursday. The route between downtown Los Angeles and Koreatown is one of Metro's most heavily used with more than 65,000 daily boardings on average. The project to add seven stations and expand service on the line to Hancock Park, Century City, Beverly Hills and Westwood broke ground more than a decade ago. Metro's goal is to finish by the 2028 Summer Olympics. 'We're now at the home stretch to opening this game-changing subway extension project, which is going to be on schedule,' Dutra said. The second phase will include the Wilshire/Rodeo and Century City/Constellation stations, which are expected to open in 2026. The final section to add the Westwood/UCLA and Westwood/VA Hospital stations is slotted for a 2027 opening. Metro chief executive Stephanie Wiggins said that the D Line closure contributed to Metro's recent decline in ridership, which dropped 13.5% from May amid ongoing immigration raids throughout Los Angeles County, according to Metro data. The decrease in June boardings was the transit agency's lowest of the year and the lowest June on record since 2022. During the closure, riders relied on expanded B Line service, which shares D Line stops from Union Station to Wilshire/Vermont, and shuttle service from Koreatown.
