Elon Musk, founder of Tesla, may be one step closer to fulfilling a promise he made to Baltimore and DC residents — created a 29-minute commute between the two cities via an underground “hyperloop.”
The U.S. Department of Transportation announced Wednesday that the environmental assessment for Musk’s DC-Baltimore loop project was available.
The Boring Company, also owned by Musk, is considering constructing a privately-owned, high-speed tunnel. It would alleviate congestion.
The underground twin tunnels would be 35 miles in length and would follow the right of way under the Baltimore-Washington Parkway.
The station terminals would be located at Camden Yards in downtown Baltimore and New York Avenue, just northwest of Union Station, in DC.
“The publication of a draft environmental assessment for this unique project demonstrates the Department’s commitment to preparing for the future of transportation across all modes,” said U.S. Secretary of Transportation Elaine L. Chao.
