The gate is located off State Route 235, also known as North Central Avenue, at the first traffic light north of the highway 235/Central Avenue and State Route 444/Broad Street intersection in Fairborn. State Route 235 is a divided four-lane highway at that traffic light for Gate 26A, with a single dedicated turn lane going in each direction. So the left lane is a dedicated turn lane for north bound traffic and the right line is the dedicated.
Base officials advise drivers to plan additional travel time in their commutes when first using the new gate in order to familiarize themselves with the new traffic flow as the gate will handle both passenger and commercial vehicles.
Commercial vehicle inspection operations will also move to the new Gate 26A, and vehicle inspection operations will cease at Gate 16A on Nov. 18.
