Gate 3 at Redstone Arsenal will reopen this Friday, July 10, using limited morning hours. The gate will be open weekdays from 6-9AM, which should help alleviate traffic during those times.

The closure of Gate 3 was originally announced last week, as a direct result of staffing shortages and Redstone Arsenal’s inability to quickly fill the positions.

Gate 3, located on Redstone Road SW, is one of the main entry points into the southern section of Redstone Arsenal. Its closure was clearly a headache to many workers and visitors of Redstone Arsenal, as Gate 3 was closed for only a day (July 6) before authorities decided it needed to be reopened.
