For our Nashville-area based customers, as well as those of you who may be visiting Music City, we wanted to share the latest information about the upgrades and construction going on at the Nashville International Airport.

Terminal Roadway Project Update

Allow Extra Travel Time April 20 through End of May

Please note that beginning Monday, April 20, intermittent blasting will occur on Nashville International’s roadways which will cause delays when entering and exiting the terminal. Below is the schedule for the blasting work, which will occur six days a week (Monday through Saturday).

April 20 through end of May:
 
Monday through Saturday
10 a.m. – 11 a.m.

Allow extra time when traveling to the airport during this time and watch for construction detour and speed limit signs.  The blast time may vary as the project progresses, so please look for updates on the airport's Web site, www.flynashville.com.

Background on Terminal Roadway Project

Phase I of the Terminal Access Roadway Improvements (TARI) Project began in October 2008 and is expected to be completed in the fall of 2009. TARI is designed to improve traffic conditions on Terminal Ring Road, the one-way thoroughfare that surrounds the airport’s short and long-term parking lots and provides access to the terminal. TARI will eliminate the need for vehicles to merge and weave through multiple lanes of traffic on Ring Road, and will improve ingress/egress from both I-40 and Donelson Pike.
