Motorists may no longer have to dodge construction and heavy traffic driving from the Nashville airport to downtown if a plan by a private company comes to fruition.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy joined Gov. Bill Lee on Monday in announcing an underground tunnel project he said will come at no cost to taxpayers. The 10-mile loop will transport passengers by automobile from the airport to downtown in about eight minutes, Lee said.
The Boring Company, founded by Elon Musk, will begin construction on the project dubbed the "Music City Loop," as soon as approvals are received, the company said. It could be completed as soon as the fall of 2026, according to information from Lee.
