Airport, state working to alleviate traffic woes

With traffic backing up onto the interstate and reports circulating of passengers walking from the ramp to Nashville International Airport, airport and state officials are working to expedite projects they say will address the issue.

Doug Kreulen, president and CEO of the Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority, recently told a Williamson, Inc. gathering that the airport will begin work on the roads it owns after the Tennessee Department of Transportation completes its ongoing work on Donelson Pike. The TDOT work was expected to be finished in 2027, but airport leaders are hoping to move that date up, Kreulen said.
