Gate Hours

Fort Campbell closed Gate 7 on Sep. 2 to all traffic. The extended closure is needed to conduct repairs and to help reduce the impact of flooding at the gate. Additionally, Ripcord Road closed between Glider Road and 59^th Street for repairs on Sep. 22.

Gate 7 remains closed to all traffic. 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 is open 5 a.m. - 9 p.m. Monday - Friday and is closes weekends, holidays, and training holidays during the Gate 7 closure.

Ripcord Road closed to all through traffic on Sep. 22 for approximately one month. Detour signs will be in place and workers will direct traffic during any temporary lane closures.

“Construction efforts are coming along nicely,” explained Matthew Brackett, Directorate of Public Works Director. “The overall project is progressing well and we have been informed about readily available resources that can provide a benefit in streamlining the project and potentially reduce the amount of time for closures. We do not have a projected end date for the project at this time, and we recognize the inconvenience these necessary repairs may cause and appreciate everyone’s patience as we work to enhance these vital infrastructure areas. Thank you for your understanding as we strive to create safer and more efficient roadways for all.”

During the repairs, everyone should be prepared to add extra time to their commute to and from Fort Campbell. For the latest gate hours use the My Army Post App or visit the gate hours page.
