The U.S. Department of Transportation is releasing environmental documents this afternoon shedding new light on the Boring Company's proposal for underground “sleds.'
Elon Musk, co-founder and chief executive officer of Tesla, arrives in a modified Tesla Model X electric vehicle Dec. 18 during an unveiling event for the Boring Company's test tunnel in Hawthorne, Calif.
Among a host of federal, state and local issues yet to be resolved is how Musk would compensate the National Park Service for building under the Baltimore-Washington Parkway. The current proposal calls for a “land exchange,” in which Musk’s company would give the Park Service land “of approximately equal value” in exchange for an easement giving it the right to build the tunnels.
It would open with two stations, one in a parking lot at Camden Yards in Baltimore, the other between a McDonald’s and a Hyatt Place hotel on New York Avenue NE in the District, and expand later. Initial ridership would be 1,000 passengers a day in each direction, according to the report. Construction of the two 35-mile tunnels, including excavating 2,000,000 cubic yards of soil, would take 12 to 20 months, the assessment said. Overall construction, including stations, would total 15 to 23 months, it anticipated. The project must first complete its environmental review and obtain regulatory approvals, a process expected to be completed this year, the report said.
Musk has received backing on the overall project from the White House Office of American Innovation, led by President Trump’s senior adviser and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, as well as Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan , and it has become part of the Trump administration’s broader push to streamline infrastructure approvals. D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser visited the Boring Company in California last year, walking in a tunnel to learn more about the technology.
