The Army has announced that beginning at 5 a.m. May 1st, Fort Riley will reopen the Four Corners access control point ( off of Old Highway 77 ) for 24-hours-day, seven-days-week operation and change the hours of operation at both Estes Street and Ogden gates.

The Estes Street access control point ( off of Old Highway 77 ) will be open from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily. The Ogden access control point will also close overnight and be open from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.

Opening access at Four Corners will enable first responders on Fort Riley to reach the northern training areas more quickly and will allow military vehicles moving between training areas to stay within the boundaries of Fort Riley. Reducing the hours of operation at both the Estes and Ogden gates will reduce the need to assign Soldiers from the 1st Infantry Division units to guard duty. The changes will help maintain Soldier’s readiness for future training and deployment requirements.

In addition to those changes, construction on Trooper Drive during May and June will require overnight closures of the Trooper access control point ( near the main post exchange and commissary ). From May 1st through June 27th. Trooper gate will be open daily from 5:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.

To accommodate overnight traffic, the rifle Range Road access control point ( near Fort Riley Elementary School ) will be open from 7 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. daily each night from May 1st through June 27th.

The Henry Drive gae ( Exit 301, I-70 ) will remain open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Operating hours will also remain unchanged at Grant Gate ( from Grant Street in Junction City ) and the 12th Street commercial access control point ( off of K-18 ).
