HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah --  As publicized, the South Gate is closed through Oct. 5 for the installation of speed tables. 

I am aware of the traffic caused by the closure, and my team and I are doing all we can to help alleviate those delays. We reached out to the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) and local authorities and requested they adjust the timing of traffic lights outside the installation to better assist people in getting on and off base during peak traffic hours from 5-7:30 a.m. and 2:30-5 p.m.

During peak hours, we encourage the use of the East and Roy Gates to help ease traffic congestion at the Southwest and West Gates as much as possible. We highly encourage staggering work shifts if possible to help mitigate delays.   

We recognize this is an inconvenience for everyone and please know this project will improve base security and allow us to more efficiently move traffic on and off the installation upon completion. I appreciate everyone's continued patience during this construction.
