The Woodlands not among cities for tunnel projects done by Elon Musk's 'The Boring Company'

THE WOODLANDS, Texas (KTRK) -- The Woodlands will not be taking their traffic problem underground - at least for now.

The community was in the running for an underground tunnel built by Elon Musk's "The Boring Company." Much like the tunnel being used in Las Vegas, on Monday, the company announced the winners of the Tunnel Vision Challenge. New Orleans, Baltimore, and Dallas were announced as the winners.

In addition, the Boring Company shared that it will also try to work on a tunnel in San Antonio, but there are no words on whether The Woodlands could be picked for future projects.

After the results were announced, The Woodlands Township responded with the following statement:

"The Boring Company announced on X, formerly Twitter, around midnight last night, that the Township was not selected as one of the final winners of the Tunnel Vision Challenge.

While not selected, this process provided an opportunity to contribute to a broader conversation about the future of transportation and to showcase the planning and vision that define The Woodlands.

The Woodlands remains focused on identifying solutions that support mobility and quality of life, with a continued commitment to evaluating ideas that serve residents now and into the future."
