Elon Musk is Tunneling 68-Mile Road System Underneath Las Vegas With Little Oversight

The Vegas Loop: Elon Musks Boring Company is constructing a planned 68-mile tunnel system beneath Las Vegas where drivers will ferry passengers around the urban core in Teslas.

Less Regulation: Despite its size, the project, because it?s privately funded, has not gone through the vetting typical of public transit systems, including lengthy governmental studies.

Musk says regulation often stymies innovation, a view that now has added significance given his new role advising President-elect Donald Trump on government efficiency.

Musks Boring Company spent years pitching cities on a novel solution to traffic, an underground transportation system to whisk passengers through tunnels in electric vehicles. Proposals in Illinois and California fizzled after officials and the public began scrutinizing details of the plans and seeking environmental reviews.

But in Las Vegas, the tunneling company is building Musks vision beneath the citys urban core thanks to an unlikely partner: the tourism marketing organization best known for selling the image that What Happens Here, Stays Here.

The powerful Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority greenlit the idea and funded an 0.8-mile route at its convention center. As that small people mover opened in 2021, the authority was already urging the county and city to approve plans for 104 stations across 68 miles of tunnels.

Meanwhile, Boring has skirted building, environmental and labour regulations, according to records. It twice installed tunnels without permits to work on county property. State and local environmental regulators documented it dumping untreated water into storm drains and the sewer system. And, as local politicians were approving an extension of the system,

Boring workers were filing complaints with the state Occupational Safety and Health Administration about ?ankle-deep? water in the tunnels, muck spills and severe chemical burns.

After an investigation, Nevada OSHA in 2023 fined the company more than $112,000. Boring disputed the regulators? allegations and contested the violations.

The complaints have continued.
