Jan. 12-26: Blasting Scheduled Near BNA’s Donelson Pike Entrance

Blasting activity is planned near the airport’s Donelson Pike entrance/exit on several days during a two-week period beginning January 12. This work will accommodate the installation of a sanitary sewer.

How will this affect travelers and the public?

Weather permitting, blasting will occur on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at approximately 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. The first blast is scheduled for Wednesday, Jan. 12. This activity is expected to conclude on Wednesday, Jan. 26 (subject to change).
The sound of blasting will be audible near the airport and potentially within the surrounding area.
Vibrations from blasting may or may not be felt at the terminal, parking garages, parking lots, and Consolidated Rental Car Facility.
Traffic will be stopped for a brief time near the blasting site for safety purposes while each blast is conducted. Duration: Approximately 5-10 minutes.
Traffic will be stopped in the following locations:
- Donelson Pike (Northbound and Southbound lanes) near the airport’s entrance/exit;
- Donelson Pike entrance and exit ramps leading into/away from BNA;
- Exit points for Terminal Garage 1, Terminal Lot A, Economy Lot B and Consolidated Rental Car Facility.
Economy Lot B parking shuttle service will pause briefly until blasting has concluded.

NOTE: If you’re flying on affected days, allow ample time to arrive due to traffic stops. Alternatively, use the airport’s I-40E entrance (exit 216A), which will not be affected by blasting.
