New hours of operation for two Keesler Gates

Personnel traveling to Keesler Air Force Base on a daily basis will see some changes in the operation of two gates on base for the next eight to ten weeks.

On Monday, the Meadows Avenue Gate began operating from 5:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily while the White Avenue Gate is now operational from 5:30 to 8:30 a.m. to inbound and outbound traffic and from 3:30 to 6 p.m. for outbound traffic only from Monday through Friday.

No change has been made to operations at the Pass Road Gate, the commercial vehicle gate, or the visitor control center.

Keesler says the reason for the changes is that the Meadows Avenue Gate provides protection from the elements for the security forces personnel working the gate.

You’re asked to be aware of some traffic backups and delays in the area.
