Commuters and other motorists may run into delays getting on and off Fort Wainwright this summer after post officials close the Main Gate and Visitors Center for a $2.5 million project road project that post officials say will improve traffic flow on Gaffney Road.
Post officials will open two other gates to help traffic flow into and off-post, including the Lazelle Gate, where a temporary visitor center will be set up.
While work in under way around the Main Gate, motorists will be able to enter and exit Fort Wainwright through five other gates, including two that will be temporarily reopened for the project.

“We anticipate the wait for the pass just to be about 2 to 3 minutes longer than normal,” says Fort Wainwright spokesperson Eve Baker. She says when work is completed this fall, there will be more lighting around the Visitor Center parking lot. And motorists will be able to get onto post more easily, because the project includes adding a designated lane for commercial vehicles like delivery trucks.
