From Wikipedia:
State Route 155 (SR 155), mostly designated as Briley Parkway, is a major freeway and parkway beltway around Nashville, Tennessee. It is 30.59 mi (49.2 km) long.
Briley Parkway, named in honor of former Nashville mayor Beverly Briley, passes the Grand Ole Opry House, Opry Mills, and the Opryland Hotel east of Nashville. It crosses the Cumberland River twice, once near Madison, and again on the west side of Nashville, near the Riverbend Maximum Security Institution and John C. Tune Airport. On the southeast portion of the loop, Briley Parkway crosses Interstate 40 and passes Nashville International Airport.
Briley Parkway consists of the northern loop of SR 155 from I-40 on the west side of Nashville to I-24 southeast of downtown Nashville, which makes up about two thirds of the length of the highway. The entirety of Briley Parkway is a controlled access highway, except for the 3.5 miles (5.6 km) segment between I-24 and I-40, including the interchange with US 41/70S (Murfreesboro Pike), which is limited access. Between I-40 near the Nashville International Airport and Ellington Parkway (US 31 E), Briley Parkway is four lanes each way. The rest of the parkway is two lanes each way.
Briley Parkway begins at a full Y interchange with I-40 in west Nashville (although the route continues to the south), and runs north at this point along the northwestern urban boundary of the city of Nashville.[2] The first interchange is with Centennial Boulevard, which connects to Cockrill Bend Boulevard near the Riverbend Maximum Security Institution. The parkway then crosses the Cumberland River on the Andrew B. Gibson Bridge, and has an interchange with County Hospital Road near the University School of Nashville. About 1.5 miles (2.4 km) later is an interchange with SR 12 (Ashland City Highway). Here the parkway curves sharply to the northeast, running mostly east to west beyond this point. The next interchange, about 3 miles (4.8 km) later, is with US 41 Alternate (Clarksville Pike) near the neighborhood of Haynes Estates. About 1 mile (1.6 km) later is an interchange with US 431 (Whites Creek Pike). About 1.5 miles (2.4 km) later, Briley Parkway interchanges with I-24 in a cloverleaf interchange. About 1⁄4 mile (0.40 km) beyond that is the next interchange, which is with Brick Church Pike. Beyond this point, Briley Parkway continues for another mile, and has a complicated interchange with US 31W/41 (Dickerson Pike) and I-65, then US 31E southbound (Ellington Parkway) less than 1⁄2 mile (0.80 km) later. At these interchanges, US 31W/41 (Dickerson Pike) and I-65 southbound are accessible together from both directions. From the westbound lanes, I-65 northbound and US 31E southbound (Ellington Parkway) are accessible together. From the eastbound lanes, I-65 northbound and US 31E southbound (Ellington Parkway) are accessible independently.

I live in Nashville and I was seriously considering going for a drive this afternoon. I was hesitating a bit because of the current cost of gasoline. The last time I got a fill-up it was around $55.00 and this was the cause for my hesitation. I saw your video about driving around Briley Parkway. From Briley Parkway, if you take the Gallatin Road Exit (12:35) you are about 5 minutes from my house so a lot of what you covered is what I would probably have been covering so I decided to just take my drive virtually and save the money for gas. I love looking around the beautiful city of Nashville. I wish it could have been on a sunshiny day, but I can hardly blame you for the weather so thank you for this video even though it was on a rainy day!
This used to be a Nashvillian secret to get around rusg hour traffic. Now with everyone moving here everyone seems to know about it.😢
That's a wonderful scenic view on the top side of the Briley between the Ashland City, & Clarksville Pike exits looks a little like Lookout Mtn in Chattanooga.
Great video Tennessee mike this parkway seems to connect to three interstates that's cool

Yep just like 285 in Atlanta connects 3, 2 digit interstates
I always used this route as a bypass when traveling thru here
TN 155 serves as an inner loop around Nashville. This is the northern part of the loop, which goes from I-40 near the airport to I-40 west on the other side of town. Two major purposes: servicing Opryland and giving truckers a way around the low bridges on I-24, 40 and part of 65 through downtown. It also helps divert through traffic around downtown. The southern half is essentially a city street. When complete, TN 840 will loop Nashville well to the south.

Yeah I don't think I-840 will be built to the Northern part of Nashville with so many people opposed to the idea and the terrain. It's sad that many people are mostly against (especially the wealthy) what would help us most.
My grandparents lived about 4 miles off Briley Parkway off Katherine Street.
I never understood why TDOT didn't make this into a full limited access freeway all away around to form a total beltway.

Me neither. I guess they don’t have the space, or want to put money into it. I also feel that the speed limit of 55 is too low, should be 65.
Must be a nice ride along TN-155
Not sure if TN 155 should be converted into a 3-digit interstate like I-940 since it is considered a bypass around Nashville.

States that use it Alabama South Carolina Kentucky(sounds a little different) Indiana(most people compare it to this state) Mississippi New Jersey Tennessee usually doesn't sound like this though States that use the same grooving as that Florida, South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, New Jersey

Briley Pkwy needs updates at some interchanges including that one and at I-40. I see why Tennessee has few stack interchanges because look at what happens when they make one
So boring
