NAS Patuxent River has announced scheduled maintenance closures for Gate 1 and the Webster Field Main Gate on Friday, August 16, 2024. These temporary closures will affect both entry points at different times during the day to accommodate necessary upkeep.

Gate 1 at NAS Pax River will be closed from 9:00 AM to 10:30 AM. During this period, Gate 2 will remain open, with three lanes available for inbound traffic to ensure that the flow of vehicles is minimally disrupted.

Later in the day, the Main Gate at Webster Field will also undergo maintenance, closing from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM. During this closure, the Back Gate will be open to facilitate the entry and exit of traffic.

These maintenance activities are part of routine measures to ensure the safety and security of the facilities. NAS Pax River and Webster Field are critical military and research installations, and such upkeep plays a crucial role in maintaining their operational readiness and security infrastructure.

Motorists who regularly use these gates are advised to plan their travel schedules accordingly on August 16 to avoid any inconvenience. The respective back gates at both locations will serve as alternate routes, helping to manage the flow of vehicles during the maintenance periods.

The scheduled maintenance is part of ongoing efforts to enhance infrastructure and service capabilities at both NAS Pax River and Webster Field. By coordinating the closures at different times, the bases aim to minimize the impact on personnel and the surrounding community.
