Messer wins $144m construction contract for Nashville Airport

Messer Construction has secured a $144m contract from the Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority (MNAA) to construct a terminal parking garage and administrative office at the facility. The design-build contract is part of MNAA’s growth and expansion plan ‘BNA Vision’ for Nashville Airport. Construction on the parking garage is set to start early next year and is slated for completion by 2020. The airport administrative office building will be completed during the same year.MNAA president and CEO Doug Kreulen said: “The awarding of this contract is the next step forward for BNA Vision. This project will address our need for additional short-term parking, as well as providing a new office building for MNAA staff and others.“Once the new office building is complete, we will demolish MNAA’s current office space, which is located above the security checkpoint, in preparation for the upcoming renovation and expansion of our terminal lobby. It’s a measured, phased-in process designed to mitigate inconvenience and airport disruption.”
