Q: Recently, the West Gate has been backed up. Only two lanes have been open and the construction cones have been out choking the lanes down to the opposite two lanes that are open at the gate. This is a dangerous situation and an accident is very likely. My suggestion for a fix would be to ask the gate guards to open all three lanes before it is a necessity and to also ask that the construction crews to move the cones at the end of their work day. Thank you for your time.

A: Thank you for your inquiry. The lane is now open and the Falcon Hill developer does not project additional lane closures during its current construction project to provide additional convenient retail food options to Hill AFB’s west side. Construction benefits many times bring inconveniences and safety issues that should be a warning for all drivers to slow down, obey traffic laws and drive with caution.
