A Dayton area company has landed a $9.1 million contract to relocate a security gate at Wright-Patterson, according to the Army Corps of Engineers.

Messner Construction Co. was to relocate Gate 26A off Ohio 235 near the 445th Airlift Wing complex and the main airfield.

The Army Corps of Engineers, which awarded the contract, said construction was to conclude in September 2019.

Wright-Patterson construction officials plan to relocate Gate 16A, a commercial truck gate, as part of a $12.6 million project to consolidate the two gates into one location.

“Investments like this one help our servicemen and women at Wright-Patterson while directly benefiting local workers and companies,” U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, said in a released statement that announced the project contract.
