FORT CAMPBELL, KY – Fort Campbell will close Gate 7 beginning Sept. 2 to all traffic. The extended closure is needed to conduct repairs and to help reduce the impact of flooding at the gate. Additionally, repairs will take place on Ripcord Road.
Commercial vehicle traffic, including food trucks, will proceed to Gate 10 to access the installation. School buses bringing student-athletes from schools off-post to compete in sporting events on Fort Campbell will proceed to TC Freeman Gate (Gate 4). RVs and campers can use any gate during the closure. Gate 5 will be open 5 a.m.-9 p.m. Monday-Friday and will close weekends, holidays and training holidays during the closure.
The start date for repairs to Ripcord Road will be announced about two weeks before work begins. The Directorate of Public Works (DPW) is working with Campbell Crossing and DoDEA Fort Campbell Schools to reduce the impact on residents and to work around school bus schedules to the greatest extent possible. Detour signs will be in place and workers will direct traffic during any temporary lane closures…
