Where does the tunnel run? According to the Boring Company's website, it runs from SpaceX's parking lot east of Crenshaw Boulevard and south of 120th Street, then it turns west under 120th Street, and remains underground along 120th Street for 2 miles.
The top speed in the tunnel, according to the CEO, will be 155 mph (250 km/h).

Elsewhere, Musk also got permission from Maryland officials for his Boring Company to build a 10-mile tunnel in the state last year. It will mark the first part of Musk's envisioned hyperloop to transport people underground between New York and Washington, D.C. in just 29 minutes.
In June, Musk also won a bid to build a high-speed train from Chicago’s O'Hare International Airport to downtown. The new rail line, or Chicago Express Loop, will see 12-minute trips in electric vehicles called "skates," from the airport's new terminals to the Block 37 super-station downtown.
Now, who's keen to line up for a free ride? Three words: get there early.
UPDATE: Oct. 22, 2018, 5:39 p.m. AEDT An earlier version of this article used the word 'hyperloop' to describe the project, when in fact, it's a test tunnel for the Boring Company's 'urban loop' project. The text of the article has been updated to reflect this.
