Nashville’s Underground Future

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy toured Elon Musk’s Boring Company tunnel project in Nashville, a high-speed underground transit system aimed at easing congestion between downtown and the airport—and eventually connecting West End Avenue. While Duffy praised the initiative for reducing traffic even if not everyone uses it, he acknowledged its limited capacity compared to highways. Critics, including Metro Council Member Delisha Porterfield, called it a secretive “backroom deal” lacking local input, and raised eyebrows over a $1 million underground transit commission. Still, Duffy sees it as a bold first step toward future transportation breakthroughs for Nashville and beyond. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
