TRAFFIC CIRCLE CONSTRUCTION IMPACT

LANGLEY AFB

Roundabout Construction at the Sweeney-Nealy-Hammond Intersection

 

By 2025, recent traffic studies show the traffic density at the Sweeney-Nealy-Hammond intersection is expected to nearly double during the peak AM and PM commute. Construction of a roundabout is planned for Langley Air Force Base beginning June 2022. This construction project will result in continuous traffic flow and prevent stop-go traffic along the Sweeney Avenue corridor as compared to the current traffic light control at the intersection.

JBLE Roundabout Construction Plan

Roundabout construction at the Sweeney-Nealy-Hammond Ave. intersection will begin the week of 13 June.  Base housing is closed to through traffic, however, detours are available via Cook and  Nealy Avenues, or via King Street Gate. To minimize traffic during peak hours, Langley personnel are encouraged to use the *NASA Langley Research Center’s Durand Gate.

DURRAND GATE | Monday – Friday
Inbound Traffic : 0600 to 0830
Outbound Traffic : 1600 to 1800

*A Department of  Defense (DoD) Common Access Card (CAC) is required by every member traversing through NASA entry control points. DOD Reserve/Retired identification cards are also accepted for the purposes of entering/exiting JBLE.
