Musk's firm, The Boring Company, has been working on the tunnel project since it was approved in 2017 by Los Angeles city officials. The tunnel's proposed route runs parallel to Sepulveda Boulevard, starting at Pico Boulevard and running down to Washington Boulevard in Culver City.
The tunnel is aimed at decreasing traffic congestion on the roads and helping commuters get to their destinations quicker than usual.
