So this is now real!
The city of Fort Lauderdale has voted in favor of a resolution that urges FDOT to eliminate bridges as proposed options for crossing the New River and requested to consider tunnel option instead!
Mayor Dean Trantalis has long been a tunnel supporter and known to have been in talks with Elon Musk's (the rocketman) The Boring Company to build tunnels in Fort Lauderdale.
this time NBC Miami reports it:
I think the tunnel under the New River is different from Mayor Trantalis' other tunnel plans together with Elon Musk & Boring Company. This tunnel will be relatively a short one probably with a bit steep approaches, not really suitable for The Boring Company's way of designing tunnels.
