Enoch and Irwin road work begins
Schriever Air Force Base is undergoing road work at both installation entry control locations on Irwin and Enoch Roads. The work will be installing curb and gutter along the existing road edges at both gates, extending from the installation boundary fence to the guard facilities. Completion of the Irwin Road gate is anticipated to be in mid-December and the Enoch Road gate completion is expected by the end of January. Due to the confined traffic configurations of the entry control areas and the general close proximity to on-site construction workers, motorist are advised to slow down and use extreme caution during this construction period.
