The Boring Company

Dubai authorities have inked a deal with The Boring Company to create a network of tunnels likened to a "wormhole" that will allow users to move at speed under Dubai's streets and avoid traffic congestion.

Around two years after having the project approved and one year after finishing construction of the tunnel, The Boring Company's transport Loop beneath the Las Vegas Convention Center has now started transporting passengers.

The Boring Company’s vision for a network of transport tunnels beneath Las Vegas has gained a little more traction, with local officials approving plans for an expansion that includes a new stop at the Resorts World Las Vegas casino.

Competitions that pit engineers, designers and creators against one another can be a great way to foster technological advances, and now The Boring Company is getting in on the act with a tunneling contest involving a snail.

The Boring Company is yet to add the finishing touches to its recently excavated tunnel beneath the Las Vegas Convention Center, but a lack of polish hasn’t stopped two nearby casinos from wanting to get in on the action.

The Boring Company has now completed the excavation phase of the high-speed transport system that will circle beneath the surface of the Las Vegas Convention Center, with public rides slated to kick off early next year.

After earning a recommendation for the project from a Las Vegas’ tourism authority last week, The Boring Company has today received the final tick of approval to move ahead with a transport loop beneath the city’s convention center.

​The Boring Company has moved rather swiftly since CEO Elon Musk first floated the idea of overcoming LA’s notorious traffic woes by digging underneath them. Two years after he publicly raised the concept, the startup has now snipped the ribbon on its first tunnel.

The Boring Company is edging closer to the unveiling of its very first tunnel, albeit a little behind schedule. The tunnel construction outfit announced today that it has pushed back the official opening event one week to December 18.

The Boring Company has just gained new approval to continue working towards its low-traffic future, and will now build a prototype garage that will connect a private residence with one of its existing test tunnels. ​

​​The Boring Company was conceived as a solution to LA’s traffic woes, and the first people to benefit from its forward-thinking tunnel networks may be the city’s sports fans. The company today announced a proposed transport link between the LA Metro and Dodger Stadium.

​The Boring Company has come up with some interesting ways to finance its tunneling aspirations. A newly announced piece of merch to be offered by the firm will be more closely tied to its digging ventures, fashioning the rock it pulls from the Earth into Lego-like bricks for construction.
