They have aborted the incredible technological tunnel of Elon Musk that would go under the United States

(ANSA) – The boring company of Elon Musk He announced that he had given up on the construction project of a tunnel super-tech subway for urban transportation under Highway 405, along the west side of Los Angeles.

The decision was made after an agreement reached with certain groups in the Californian city. The groups had sued Los Angeles for the decision to exempt the project from an environmental review process. The company announced in a statement that it would now focus on building an operational tunnel at the Dodger Stadium.

Musk had introduced this plan last year as an innovative system to avoid Highway 405, one of the busiest roads in the United States. He had the blessing of the city authorities and was therefore allowed to ignore an environmental screening and start digging his project, the tunnel under Highway 405.

The group is based on the fact that the 405 Tunnel is part of a tunnel system introduced by The Boring Company a year ago and that California state laws prohibit individual approval. of parts of a larger project. The group says that "environmental protection laws and inspections should not be avoided by splitting a huge project into small parts that do not seem to have an individual environmental impact".

The company Boring, in a statement to NBC News, announced that the company had reached an agreement with the plaintiffs before the trial, in which they decided to cancel the construction of the "Sepulveda" test tunnel, under Highway 405. They will build another under the Dodger Baseball Stadium, which hopes to connect a subway station to the stadium.
