At 9 p.m. Sunday, VDOT officials will close Pence Gate for six weeks, to continue with the agency’s Route 1 Widening Project in the area of Pence Gate. Pence Gate is the Belvoir’s access control point closest to the traffic circle, Fort Belvoir Community Hospital, the Community Center and Fisher House. Drivers coming to Belvoir from the south may notice extra traffic at Tulley Gate, the gate closest to Fairfax County Parkway on Route 1, as Tulley becomes the 24-hour access point during Pence’s closure.
