Fort Stewart will adjust gate access hours beginning November 16, to ensure the most effective use of available resources while maintaining secure and efficient entry to the installation.

Effective that date, Gates 2 (Sgt. Leroy A. Mendonca) and 4B (2ABCT PT gate - Austin Road) will be closed indefinitely. Additionally, Gates 3 (Capt. Maurice Britt) and 8 (PFC John L. Barkley) will be closed on all weekends, federal holidays, and training holidays. On weekdays, Gates 3 (Britt), 7 (Col. Lionel C. McGarr), and 8 (Barkley) will be closed to inbound traffic from 5-9 p.m., though they will remain open for outbound traffic during that time. Inbound access to these gates will be available from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Gate 4C (2 ABCT PT Gate - Old Sunbury Road) will no longer issue visitor passes. Those in need of a pass should proceed to the Visitor Lane at Gate 4 (SFC John W. Marshall), where in-lane vetting is available. This process requires a valid driver’s license and takes less than one minute. Visitors who already possess a valid pass may enter the installation through any gate.

As a reminder, visitor passes can be obtained through the visitor lanes at all gates except Gate 4C. Alternatively, visitors may apply for a pass online, linked to their driver’s license, by visiting https:// pass.aie.army.mil/steps/ branch_selection.

Fort Stewart encourages all personnel and visitors to use Gate 1 (Capt. Jess Wooldridge) or Gate 5 (CPL Hiroshi Miyamura), which remain open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, year-round. The ongoing construction project will not affect access through Gate 1.

Fort Stewart appreciates the community’s understanding and cooperation as officials implement these changes to maintain the safety and efficiency of its access control operations.
