Columbus in the running for Hyperloop test track as certification process begins

Columbus could be taking another important step forward in securing a place on the highly-anticipated Chicago-to-Pittsburgh Hyperloop.

Perhaps even more exciting, Virgin Hyperloop is considering Central Ohio as the site for a test track and related facilities if the certification is confirmed.

The Chicago-to-Pittsburgh route that would include Columbus is one of 10 possible paths that Virgin Hyperloop is considering for the first-ever hyperloop in the US. Virgin is expected to make a final decision on the certification center by the end of this year.
