A tunnel under the port of Miami was less than a mile but still cost around $ 700 million. The city is built on limestone, which is spongey.
Musk has talked about digging tunnels as deep underground as skyscrapers are tall. The Miami Herald reports that the limestone bedrock and the impact of rising sea levels were among the talking points.
Musk started the boring company in 2016. The first commercial service is nearing completion under the Las Vegas Convention Center. The company is also in negotiations for a tunnel in San Bernardino County, California.
