DAVIS-MONTHAN AIR FORCE BASE, Ariz. - --  Gate 29B located on the southwest side of the base just off Valencia Road will be opening July 29.

It will open for inbound traffic only from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m., and for outbound traffic only from 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. It will be closed on weekends, federal holidays and down days.

During the gate's hours of operation there's an increased chance of traffic congestion in this area.

Those personnel with DBIDS cards/passes must be authorized to use all installation access points. The gate will not be open to general public nor commercial traffic.

Personnel will still need to gain an installation pass through the Visitor Center at Craycroft Gate. Commercial vehicles will still need to gain access through the Swan Gate Vehicle Search.

Gate 29B is scheduled to be fully opened by the end of September 2013.
