NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — If you're planning on heading to or from BNA this weekend, make sure you plan ahead!

Beginning December 1 at 8 p.m. and through Monday, December 4 at 4 a.m., there will be lane closures on Donelson Pike in both directions.

One lane is expected to remain open at all times, but TDOT is warning to plan accordingly.

On Wednesday, BNA introduced free and reduced rate short-term parking in the terminal garages in an attempt to avoid the traffic chaos that has impacted the airport over the past year.

Busy travel days have caused quite the commotion at BNA due to major construction around the airport, leaving some to ditch their rides to get to the airport on time.

Tenn. mom invites son's organ recipients to do his favorite activity, dance

Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.

Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.

Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
