The Boring Company (TBC) and non-profit organisation Morgan’s have marked the ceremonial start of an Ultra-Accessible tunnel project in San Antonio inclusion tunnel, Texas. The development is TBC’s first tunnelling project for a non-profit organisation.
The nearly 1.6km-long tunnel, described by Morgan’s as an “inclusion tunnel”, will connect Morgan’s Hotel with Morgan’s Wonderland, with additional stops at Morgan’s Wonder Care and Morgan’s Multi-Assistance Centre.
The bi-directional route will use electric shuttles to transport visitors between the four destinations, providing access for people of all abilities.
The tunnel will be excavated using TBC’s Prufrock 5 tunnel boring machine. Morgan’s describes the project as the first Ultra-Accessible tunnel of its kind.
Funding is being provided by an anonymous donor, who is also supporting other capital projects on Morgan’s Inclusion Campus. Once completed, the tunnel will be fully owned and operated by Morgan’s.
Morgan’s Wonderland opened in 2010 as the world’s first Ultra-Accessible, fully inclusive theme park. The wider campus also includes Morgan’s Inspiration Island water park, Morgan’s Camp, Morgan’s Sports and Morgan’s Multi-Assistance Centre.
