The Boring Company, Elon Musk’s tunnel-digging company, and Tennessee Governor Bill Lee have announced a plan to build a 10-mile “loop” that will connect Nashville’s downtown and its convention center to the area’s airport.

Elon Musk's The Boring Company officially unveiled its plans Monday for the Music City Loop, an underground tunnel connecting downtown Nashville to the city's airport. Why it matters: Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee touted the project as an innovative approach to addressing Nashville's traffic congestion at no cost to taxpayers.
