Some air force bases in Virginia have gates that stay open 24 hours a day. That is useful for service members, families and approved visitors who need to arrive very early or late. A gate being open all day does not remove normal base security rules.

Gate Details

The LaSalle Gate on the Langley side of Joint Base Langley-Eustis is listed as open 24 hours. Other gates use different schedules, so after-hours drivers should plan to use the designated all-day gate. For questions, call 757-764-7770.

Before You Go

Bring the identification required for your visit. If you do not already have base access, you may need a visitor pass, sponsor or background check. Visitor-center hours are often shorter than gate hours, and gate schedules can change for security, construction or special events.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a 24-hour gate mean the public can enter at any time?

No. The gate can be staffed all day while normal installation access rules still apply. Visitors may need approved identification, a pass or sponsorship.

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.
