Musk told reporters he would like to get the whole thing done for less than $1 billion and start construction in three to four months.
To do that, the Boring Company will have to do some impressive calculator work. New York’s 2-mile 2nd Avenue extension took about a century and $4.8 billion to construct. Replacing the 2-mile Alaskan Way Viaduct with an underground tunnel has taken seven years, and cost Seattle $2 billion and counting.
