Nestable cross-member beams are provided for use within traction battery packs. A first cross-member beam of a first cell stack may nest together with a second cross-member beam of a second cell stack to establish a structural cross-member assembly between the first and second cell stacks at a location inside the traction battery pack. The structural cross-member assembly may include one or more venting passageways that facilitate the venting of battery cell vent byproducts to a location external to the traction battery pack during battery thermal events. The venting passageways may direct the vent byproducts through one or more valve assemblies provided within an enclosure assembly of the traction battery pack. The valve assemblies may direct the vent byproducts through one or more vehicle body components.
