As road work continues on Trooper Drive, the Trooper access control point will continue to close overnight from 7 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. Monday through Friday and will be closed on weekends and federal holidays.The Grant St. access control point will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week until construction on Trooper Drive is complete. Phase one of the construction project that required the temporary changes in hours for both Trooper and Grant was completed ahead of schedule, so construction crews are
continuing with additional phases. Phases planned for fall are scheduled to be completed by November 6.

Road work will extend to the intersection of Trooper and McCormick. All work is being done during the overnight hours and will have limited impact on customers of the post exchange or commissary.

Fort Riley has also expanded the Trusted Traveler Pilot Program. Department of Defense Identification cardholders eligible to serve as a Trusted Traveler are no longer required to be the driver of the vehicle. Drivers or passengers serving as the Trusted Traveler vouch for up to seven other occupants of a vehicle, provided they are at least 18 years old, present a valid DoD ID card and fall into one of the following categories: active-duty military, family members, retired service members or DoD civilian employees.

All occupants 16 years of age and older will be required to present a government-issued photo ID and will not be vetted further. Escorted visitors under Trusted Traveler do not need an installation pass issued from the Visitor Control Center, but must remain with their escort at all times. Sponsors may not vouch for foreign nationals with foreign passports.

From 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekends and holidays, sponsors may escort their non-DoD visitors through any access control point open for non-commercial traffic. From 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Monday through Friday, all non-DoD visitors must be escorted and signed in at Henry or Ogden access control points. From 4 p.m. to 8 a.m. on weekends and federal holidays, those using the Trusted Traveler program must use the Henry or Ogden gates. The Visitor Control Center, Exit 301, I-70, is open from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekends and holidays.
