NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) — An extension to Concourse D has been unveiled at Nashville International Airport (BNA). It will open on July 8.

In partnership with BNA and Arts at the Airport Foundation, Concourse D has many innovative and artistic features. The record node has a panoramic view, including a view of the airfield and downtown Nashville. Travelers can also access an outdoor terrace to take a step outside after a long travel day.

Five new gates have been opened, as well as eight new locations to shop, eat, and drink. New restaurants to check out include:

  • 3rd & Broadway
  • Sandella’s Flatbread Café
  • New Heights Cantina and Taqueria
  • The Castle
  • Flytes Virtual Dining Hall
  • Daniel X Diamond
  • Nashville Tracks by Hudson
  • Martini

The concourse also features three unique pieces of art you can enjoy while waiting for your flight.

“Twine with my Mingles” by Nashville-based artist Elizabeth Williams of New Hat Projects, a 180-foot-long piece that lines the moving walkway created by loom-style weaving custom-printed wristbands.

“A Thread Without End” by Los Angeles-based artist Benjamin Ball of Ball-Nogues Studios, comprised of 620 stainless steel spheres suspended in the concessions area between gates D7 and D8.

“Our Radiant City” by Nashville-based artist Brenda Stein encircles the center of the record node, featuring depictions of some of Nashville’s most recognizable buildings in shimmering terrazzo, acting as a focal point when passengers enter.

Designed by world-renowned architectural firms Hensel Phelps and Fentress Architects, the concourse has many windows and is a place to unwind.
