A company founded by SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is proposing to build a tunnel between Isla Blanca Park and Boca Chica Beach, in an apparent solution to Highway 4’s recurring closures.
The Boring Company met with Cameron County officials last month proposing the tunnel, which would be the third the company has built since it was founded in 2016.
“They’re just looking at concepts, there’s nothing concrete,” Cameron County Administrator Pete Sepulveda, Jr., who oversees all major transportation projects in the county, said.
“I believe the county is non committal. If there’s a way to provide access to the beach and it’s good for the public then the county is going to support that.”
