Hello, my name Sean. I’m deaf.  I enjoy to read on Unbanplanet. I will post more pics later.  British Airways Dreamliner Boeing 787-9 landed last Sunday evening.  ( 2/L  7,704 feet long runway)

Airplane photos aren't really my cup of tea either, but may I humbly request we tone down the dramaticism a touch?  This is simply a case of a kind, sincere man who wants to share his photography with

Concourse D is nice, but how are 5 additional gates going to cost $250 million? That just seems high. Is additional infrastructure work a part of this?

WE also have to keep in mind just how much infrastructure we don't see with projects such as these. The vast majority of the money spent will never be seen by the general public, but are absolutely essential to the project. Add in the relocation of the freight terminal as downtownresident mentioned and the fact it is an addition (always more expensive than building new), plus inflation and the $250 million can very quickly be understood. 

Isn't the satellite concourse above $100 million now?

Will the relocation of Donelson Pike enable gates on both sides? 

Here is the new alignment around Concourse D per TDOT's website. As we can see, there is just not enough space to maneuver an aircraft around if it was double loaded.

I don't see it as a complete loss though. Provides the space for vendor slots and possible open space (like they did on the first pass of D). BNA also won't be alone in having single loaded concourses, as many airports have them and have higher traffic volumes than BNA.

Update. 
The Departures level roadway will be CLOSED between 7 p.m. and 4 a.m. TONIGHT to accommodate the current phase of our BNA® Vision construction on the new terminal lobby and central checkpoint. All terminal traffic will be routed to the Arrivals level for pick-ups and drop-offs during these hours to keep our passengers safe while construction is overhead. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we build a world-class airport. #FlyNashville

Whatever happened to the monorail I thought was included in this expansion? Please don't tell me it got cancelled.

They designated a place in the new terminal design should light rail eventually be built to the airport. There has never been any plan announced to actually propose and fund the construction of that infrastructure.

What I meant was I thought there was a monorail just to get around the airport and to the hotel etc. I remember a rendering showing the layout, but maybe I misunderstood the type of rail.

I could be wrong, but I believe the proposed LRT link was somewhat elevated upon it's approach to the terminal, and actually came up directly to it, so I'm thinking that is probably what you saw in renderings, and it would be totally understandable if you saw that and assumed it was a Monorail terminal link.

Damn. Looking at that curved roof and thinking to myself, what an absolutely wasted opportunity for solar.

I pondered that initially myself when the designs were announced.  But then I got to thinking that it might cause some severe reflection/glare issues for control towers and pilots at various times of day.
