Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority has awarded two projects as part of its BNA Vision renovation and expansion plan. Concourse D and terminal wing expansion projects have been awarded to Hensel Phelps, and the terminal apron and taxilane expansion project has been awarded to Eutaw Construction Company.
Under the $203 million design-build contract, the new Concourse D will be 115,000 square feet in space and will feature six domestic aircraft gates, plus dining and retail options and a central utilities plant. The project will also add 80,000 square feet of space to the north and south ends of the terminal. This space will be occupied by the ticketing lobby and four baggage claim carousels. Anticipated completion date for this part of BNA Vision is 2020.
The terminal apron and taxilane expansion project, a $23 million construction contract, will add more than 500,000 square feet of space for aircraft parking and maneuvering. This part of the BNA Vision plan is expected to be completed in the spring of 2019.
MNAA broke ground on BNA Vision in January 2017. The expansion and renovation plan will include expanded concourses, additional security-screening lanes, an updated international arrivals facility, an on-site hotel, a transit station and other projects.
“We are eager to bring Concourse D back to life with commercial air service, as well as add capacity to our ticketing and baggage claim levels,” says Doug Kreulen, MNAA president and CEO. “In addition, the terminal apron and taxilane expansion will be vital to our future state-of-the-art International Arrivals Facility, which is set to open in 2023. BNA Vision is well underway now, as multiple projects will soon be simultaneously in motion. It’s an exciting time for our airport.”
