Elon Musk's tunnel-digging firm The Boring Company's operations in Las Vegas were suspended after a worker sustained a "crushing injury."

A delayed pedestrian bridge reconstruction project in Bath Beach, Brooklyn, is drawing mounting frustration from residents and community leaders who say the prolonged closure has severed a vital connection to the neighborhood's waterfront.

Funding for a portion of California's high-speed rail was initially approved by voters in 2008. The project is now significantly delayed - and more expensive. The initial price tag was $33 billion.

But as it stands, that portion wouldn't be ready until 2038.

The U.S. Transportation Department announced it was pulling back $4 billion in funding for California's high-speed rail project, which has faced delays and increased costs.
