Delays are expected at that gate. To help reduce long lines of vehicles during morning traffic, city officials reminded drivers of other gates that can be used to access the base’s Area B.
Those include Gate 22-B, just off I-675 and Colonel Glenn Highway, as well as Gate 19-B, off National Road, between Colonel Glenn and Kauffman Road.
Gate 22-B update
Wright-Patterson’s 88th Air Base Wing also announced that starting Monday morning, traffic control measures will be put in place at Gate 22-B (I-675 access) to prevent vehicles from crossing lanes and to direct traffic into designated lanes.
“In preparation for this change, we ask that you plan your morning route accordingly and familiarize yourself with alternative routes to your work center,” the 88th Air Base Wing said in a statement. “If you are forced to use a particular lane or route that you normally do not use, please make sure you know how to navigate to your destination.”
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base is the largest single-site employer in the state, with some 38,000 military and civilian workers at the sprawling complex.
