***Rock Merritt Construction Update***11 Aug 2026 19:58
Rock Merritt Avenue construction is temporarily paused. During this time, Fort Bragg has opened the route back up for travel to ensure we have as much gate access as possible during the All American Freeway project. When construction continues, milling from Boxcar Street to Stiner Road and final paving will be completed. We will let you know when the project resumes and will update the best routes to get you to your destination.

The All American Gate – the main entrance to Fort Bragg – closed at 5 a.m. on Monday, July 27 to make needed repairs to the roadway. Construction is expected to take 24 months. The repairs will include replacement of the Gruber Road bridge and major repair of roadbed settlement on All American Freeway near the Rock Merritt Road exit. AAF will remain closed from the All American Gate to Zabitosky Road in both inbound and outbound directions. We expect the construction to take up to 24 months. The All-American Visitor Center will remain open but the All-American Freeway Access Control Point is closed, and visitors will have to use other gates to gain access to the installation. The most convenient way for Non-DOW ID cardholders to request a visitor pass is online at https://home.army.mil/bragg/, select the Online Visitor Pass link on the right. Additional manpower were added to other gates to accommodate increased traffic. To find out which gates are open and the traffic conditions, please use the My Army Post App, available on the Apple Store and Google Play. The construction is being done through Fort Bragg’s partnership with the N.C. Department of Transportation under an Inter-Governmental Service Agreement or IGSA. Fort Bragg uses NCDOT's expertise to design and manage certain highway construction and maintenance projects on the post while the Army pays for the work. Also, use your favorite navigation app with traffic turned on so that you can see issues and delays before you make you decision on gate usage.

Q; What is an Inter-Governmental Service Agreement and why is it important?
A: An IGSA allows us to partner with our state and local governments to leverage their expertise and contracting systems to award and manage services for Fort Bragg, For road maintenance, we’ve partnered with the North Carolina Department of Transportation. The NCDOT has technical expertise for design, construction, and contracting to take our projects from an idea through design to construction. Using the NCDOT, we’ve seen about a 40-60% cost savings. That means we can get almost double the work done bringing Fort Bragg’s roads up to standard faster.
