Several U.S. cities could soon see major underground transportation upgrades led by billionaire Elon Musk’s The Boring Company (TBC).
In a Tuesday post on X, the construction company named the winners of its nationwide "Tunnel Vision Challenge," naming New Orleans, Louisiana, and Dallas, Texas, as candidates for new transportation systems.
"Thanks again to all of the participants — your enthusiasm and positivity has been inspiring for the TBC team," the company wrote.
Baltimore, Maryland, was initially named as a winner, but TBC later announced Wednesday that the project will not move forward following early discussions.
The next phase will involve collaboration with local officials and regulators, along with geotechnical borings to determine feasibility.
In a Wednesday update, TBC provided additional details on its early discussions with local leaders in both Dallas and New Orleans, saying both proposed projects had "great initial meetings."
Two additional cities — Hendersonville, Tennessee, and San Antonio, Texas — remain under consideration as discussions continue.
The challenge, which launched in January, invited proposals for a one-mile tunnel concept, with the winning concept promised a free build.
Separately, TBC was recently selected to begin negotiations on a proposed underground transit system connecting Universal Orlando’s parks.
The company’s most notable project is the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) Loop, which opened in 2021 after about a year of construction.
The system reduced a 45-minute walk across the convention campus to roughly two minutes, according to its website.
The Vegas Loop was later expanded in 2024 to 2.1 miles and five stations.
TBC could not be immediately reached by FOX Business for comment.
