Officials with the State of Tennessee and Elon Musk's The Boring Company announced details Monday related to a tunnel to connect downtown Nashville and the Nashville International Airport.

A release notes a possible fall 2026 opening, but Steve Davis, president and CEO of The Boring Company said at an announcement event Monday afternoon that the tunnel could be operational in about two years. Davis joined Gov. Bill Lee, Metropolitan Airport Authority CEO Doug Kreulen, and U.S. Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy for the announcement at the recently opened Hilton BNA Nashville Airport Terminal.
