The Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority (MNAA) Board of Commissioners has approved $18.4 million to fund pre-construction services for the terminal roadway and parking improvement project at Nashville International Airport (BNA).
The contract, awarded to Superior Construction Company Southeast, is part of an $137 million project that will add a new outer loop roadway and realign and widen existing roads around the terminal.
The project also upgrade BNA on-airport parking, expanding the Terminal Lot A and Economy Lot B, improving access to Economy Lot C, building a consolidated toll plaza for the airport’s Terminal Garage complex and enlarging the airport’s cell phone waiting area and ride share driver waiting area.
The roadway and parking construction will begin in spring 2021, with completion anticipated in late 2024.
“This project is essential as we look to the future and prepare for growth over the next 20 years,” said Doug Kreulen, MNAA president and CEO. “We are now entering the most transformative phase of our expansion with the terminal renovation underway and the launch of the roadway improvements project. With continued support from our Board of Commissioners and our construction partners, the best is yet to come.”
The road project is part of BNA Vision, the multi-billion dollar airport infrastructure upgrade that includes a new Concourse D, additional space for ticketing and baggage claim, renovated terminal lobby, expanded security checkpoint, a state-of-the-art International Arrivals Facility, and a host of new dining, retail and service amenities for passengers.
