Road construction
Road construction will take place through May 29 on Lawn Avenue on Ramstein near Bldg. 2128 with half lane closures.

Slight traffic delays in the immediate area may be expected; motorists should plan accordingly. Drivers should exercise extreme caution due to proximity of construction traffic, and for everyone’s safety, obey the traffic laws and regulations.
