As part of on-going work to enhance installation security, the 86th Civil Engineering Group will upgrade all main entry gates to Ramstein Air Base. The group will work closely with the 86th Security Forces Squadron to minimize impact to the base populace and ensure only one gate is under construction at any given time.
Work will include lane closures and redirected traffic, so motorists should check Live Wire on the base website and other media sources for the latest information.
Motorists should leave themselves plenty of time, especially during peak hours.
Work began on the Ramstein AB LVIS Gate Feb. 20 and will run through approximately March 31. During this construction period, entry will be limited to inbound commercial traffic only. POVs will be required to enter and exit the installation via the east and/or west gates. East and west gate traffic will remain unaffected at this time.
Construction at the east gate is scheduled to continue until May 5 and will be limited to inbound traffic only during this period. Traffic normally exiting the installation through the east gate will be diverted to the Harmon Gate to exit the base.
Construction at the west gate is scheduled for May 7 to July 14 and may be limited to two lanes during this period. To alleviate congestion, the West LVIS Gate will be opened for inbound vehicle traffic during peak hours.
Construction will only affect one gate at a time and detours will be clearly posted and advertised as far in advance as possible to limit traffic congestion. All construction is scheduled to be complete and all gates should return to normal operations by July 15.
