Nashville's Mayor reveals he knew about The Boring Company's interest in the tunnel connecting BNA to downtown for about a year without offering support.

Tennessee Governor Bill Lee says the Nashville tunnels will come at “zero cost” to taxpayers, and will instead be “entirely privately funded” by The Boring Company and its partners. Once completed, the “Tesla in tunnels” system will ferry people from the airport to downtown in around eight minutes.

State leaders fast-tracked plans by Elon Musk’s company for a tunnel to Nashville’s airport, ignoring the city’s concerns.
