Access to McConnell Base Housing will soon move to a different gate, which will alter the traffic patterns around McConnell and S. Rock Road.
The main gate to base housing is located off the intersection of Rock Rd and Arnold Ct, and will close on July 24th at 7 a.m. At that point, all inbound and outbound traffic for base housing will be routed through a security gate off of 31st St. and the terminus of S. Arnold Blvd.
The change will shift the volume of traffic that crosses or enters S. Rock Rd. from the Rock/Arnold intersection, to S. Rock’s intersections with Pawnee, 31st and 47th St.
The 31st St. gate will be open 24/7, while the main housing gate undergoes a construction and renovation project.
Work on the main gate to McConnell base housing includes repairs and security improvements to the road, a mill/overlay of the existing road, construction of speed tables to slow traffic, widening of the road at the guard shack checkpoint, installation of a sunshade over the incoming lane next to the guard shack, new rolling gates, and new or revised traffic signs for those entering and exiting the housing gate.
This gate renovation project is expected to last from July 24th until the end of the November.
