The Boring Company has officially put Prufrock-5 to work in San Antonio, Texas. On November 10, 2026, TBC announced it has begun digging the Morgan's Inclusion Tunnel — a nearly mile-long underground transit corridor designed to connect facilities across Morgan's Inclusion Campus for people of all abilities. Here's everything worth knowing about the project.
What exactly is the Morgan's Inclusion Tunnel?
It's a privately funded underground tunnel being built beneath Morgan's Inclusion Campus — a 300-acre complex in San Antonio, Texas — to connect its various facilities. That includes Morgan's Wonderland theme park, Morgan's Multi-Assistance Center, Morgan's Wonder Care, and the new 93-room Morgan's Hotel. The tunnel is designed to offer a safe, convenient, and fully accessible transportation link across the campus for visitors and guests of all abilities.
How long is the tunnel, and what machine is digging it?
The planned tunnel runs approximately 0.8 miles — just under a mile — with an outer diameter of roughly 13.5 feet. TBC's Prufrock-5 tunnel boring machine, which weighs 900,000 pounds, arrived on campus on October 14, 2026. Final governmental approvals had been pending as of late October, with only a Texas Department of Transportation sign-off remaining at that point. The November 10 announcement confirms digging is now underway.
Who is paying for this, and what does it cost Morgan's?
Nothing — at least not directly. According to reporting by the San Antonio Express-News, The Boring Company is completing the project at no cost to Morgan's, the nonprofit organization behind the campus. The construction is being financed by a private anonymous donor. A Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) registration lists a construction estimate of $1.4 million, though the full project cost has not been publicly disclosed.
What vehicles will run through the tunnel?
Tesla vehicles are anticipated to transport passengers through the completed tunnel, consistent with TBC's Loop model used at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Riders would board at one end of the campus and be shuttled to the other, eliminating the need to navigate outdoor terrain across the sprawling 300-acre site — a meaningful difference for guests with mobility challenges.
When will the tunnel open to the public?
The timeline has shifted since the project was first announced. Morgan's founder Gordon Hartman originally aimed for tunnel completion by the end of November 2026, with a public opening around December 15, 2026. However, according to Morgan's spokesman Frank Guerra, the tunnel is now projected for completion in Spring 2027, with the full project finalized by Fall 2027. A TDLR filing also lists a November 11, 2027 completion date. The December 2026 target appears optimistic given that excavation only began November 10.
Why does this project matter beyond San Antonio?
Morgan's Inclusion Campus is one of the most prominent accessibility-focused destinations in the United States. A TBC tunnel here is a meaningful proof point for a use case the company hasn't prominently showcased before: short-distance, campus-scale transit designed specifically around inclusion. If the project delivers on its timeline and accessibility goals, it could open a lane for TBC to pursue similar partnerships with hospitals, university campuses, and large resort properties — venues where the economics of a full city Loop don't pencil out, but a focused half-mile connection does.
