Plan Your Arrival

A 24-hour gate is an access point, not an open public entrance. Check whether you need a pass before leaving home, especially if you plan to arrive after the Visitor Control Center closes. Construction and security changes can also move traffic to a different gate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Visitor Control Center also open 24 hours?

Usually not. Visitor-center schedules are separate from gate schedules, so check visitor processing hours if you need a new pass.

Can gate hours change?

Yes. Security needs, construction, exercises or special events can change which gate is open. Checking shortly before travel is a good idea.

Which gate should I use late at night?

Use the confirmed 24-hour gate listed in the table unless the installation posts a temporary change or security notice.
