The City of Miami is exploring the idea of a tunnel system thanks to a Twitter exchange with Elon Musk last week and now Ft. Lauderdale wants in, too.The idea is to build a three-mile tunnel under the New River. The Ft. Lauderdale mayor believes the tunnel idea could be a “game changer” not only to help with traffic, but to also promote South Florida as a tech hub.
Ft. Lauderdale Mayor Dean Trantalis said the company's projected cost for the tunnel would be at a minimum $10 million per mile. The idea made national news this month after an exchange on Twitter between Musk and Miami Mayor Francis Suarez. Musk said he had already spoken with Florida. Gov. Ron DeSantis about the idea.
