Overview
- The Boring Company named New Orleans, Baltimore and Dallas as winners Tuesday for a free one‑mile “Loop” tunnel, a system that moves riders in Tesla cars through small underground tunnels.
- The Baltimore Ravens, after initial talks with public partners Wednesday, said they would not continue, removing the “Ravens Loop” from further consideration.
- The company is launching a fully funded due‑diligence phase that includes geotechnical borings, utility mapping and meetings with local officials, and it will only build projects that clear technical and regulatory reviews.
- Dallas’ University Hills Loop would connect a new mixed‑use district to the UNT Dallas DART station at no cost to the city, and the firm also plans to explore proposals in San Antonio and Hendersonville, Tennessee.
- Separate from the contest, Nashville’s roughly 10‑mile Music City Loop cleared key easements this week and moved into construction, offering a larger test for a model that to date has a single widely used public system in Las Vegas.
