Notification from Fort Drum Directorate of Emergency Services: Effective 28 January 13, the temporary gate on Nash Blvd and NYS Route 26, which is open from 05300730, will be restricted to in-bound traffic only and will not be used to access WSAAF from the cantonment area. This will remain in effect until 15 Apr 13. This is being done out of safety concerns for the security personnel conducting access control operations. Accumulated snow and ice makes the narrow roadway even narrower and there is no way to adequately protect the security personnel who have to stand in the roadway. Two way traffic increases the possible risk of injury or worse due to slippery roads. Personnel are not authorized to turn onto Nash Blvd and then conduct a U-turn to cross over NYS Route 26 and circumvent the traffic control device. Jersey barriers will be placed on the roadway of Nash Blvd to prevent this from occurring. Once you are on Nash Blvd you will be required to enter Ft Drum and then proceed to Gas Alley ACP to exit. Reminder this gate is only authorized for use by personnel with a Government issued ID (CAC, DD form 2, DD Form 1173). RAPIDGate IDs or drivers licenses are not authorized identification for access through this gate.
