Beginning June 8, Lincoln Road gate (running in front of the Bird in Hand pub) will open as an exit only and St. John's Gate, Gate 16, will be closed.

Additionally, the Lincoln Road exit will be open to pedestrians (base ID cardholders only) entering and exiting the base. This gate will be open 24 hours, seven days a week.

The current Shippea Hill gate (between 3rd Air Force and the auto hobby shop) will remain an exit, but will be left-turn only. Lorries are prohibited from exiting this gate, and must leave base through the Lincoln Road gate.

The gate opposite the child development center (currently open to pedestrian traffic only) and the CDC and youth center gates, (Gates 19, 20 and 21) will open from 5:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, and 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturdays. These gates will be closed Sundays unless a special event is on.

The West Row gate, Gate 11, will conduct 24-hour operations from 6 a.m. Mondays through 10 p.m. Fridays. Those leaving base are reminded again that the Shippea Hill exit is left-turn only.
