Me thinks musk would actually enjoy company with New Orleans mayor Helena Moreno

That’s a broke down looking tunnel.

Can he put the tunnel as I-10 in New Orleans East so we don't have to worry about getting shot heading to the coast?

The old Belle Chasse tunnel is a great example...but the Harvey never had the problems that Belle Chasse had.

Were these actually bored or were the preassembled and sunk?

Great to see the OT accepting this bit of good news in its usual optimistic spirit

With our soft clay soil, they were probably built off site and sunk in place.

This would be awesome and I'm sincerely hoping it happens. But Helena Morena has likely already been ordered by her handlers to tank this, at all costs. Anything to prevent Elon from getting a win. It would be more appreciated in GOP-lead cities like Fort Worth, Jacksonville, OKC or Fresno. But let's hope the powers that be can allow some real progress to happen.

Would be cool to have this connecting the Old and new terminals at MSY.

Heck a tunnel between downtown and the airport would probably seal the deal on another Super Bowl.

Even if this happens (it won’t), “they” will quickly ruin it.

Not to mention the multitude of cities around the world that have figured out how to tunnel in shitty, wet soil.


Other than subsidence it's a shitload easier to drill through than rock.

Better bring a SCUBA tank

No offense, but this is a dumb comment. It is very common for tunnels traverse under.... water.

OP probably referenced need for SCUBA due to the immense amount of steaming BS objections to be navigated before hands-out officials are "satisfied" this will work.

Project will be underwater before it $tarts.
