Nashville selected for Music City Loop: A zero-emissions high-speed transit system connecting downtown to BNA at zero cost to taxpayers
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Today, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee announced The Boring Company’s intent to build the Music City Loop, a transformative private transportation project that will bring the company’s innovative underground Loop system to Nashville at zero cost to taxpayers, marking a bold step forward in advancing mobility, economic growth, and infrastructure modernization across the region.
“Tennessee continues to lead the nation in finding innovative solutions to infrastructure challenges,” said Gov. Lee. “By leveraging the innovation of private sector companies like The Boring Company, we’re exploring possibilities we couldn’t achieve on our own as a state. This partnership represents the kind of forward-thinking, fiscally responsible approach that will define the future of transportation in Tennessee.”
“The Boring Company is excited to bring our world class tunneling and transportation capabilities to Tennessee,” said Steve Davis, President of The Boring Company. “We are appreciative and grateful for the continued support and collaboration from the State of Tennessee, and local Nashville community and business leaders.”
The announcement officially launches a public process to evaluate potential routes, engage community stakeholders, and finalize plans for the project’s initial 10-mile phase. The Music City Loop, which will be 100% privately funded, will connect downtown and the Convention Center to Nashville International Airport with a transit time of approximately 8 minutes, utilizing underground tunnels beneath state-owned roadways.
The Boring Company intends to begin construction immediately following the approvals process, with the first segment of the Loop system expected to be operational as early as fall of 2026.
