Gate 1 construction to impact traffic

By U.S. ArmyJuly 2, 2018

VICENZA, Italy -- A construction project designed make it easier to merge onto Via Aldo Moro after leaving Caserma Ederle's Gate 1 will lead to traffic changes from July 9 to Sept. 2.

The Directorate of Public Works project will close the exit from Gate 1 to Via Aldo Moro so work can be done to make it easier for outgoing traffic to safely merge onto Aldo Moro. The entrance will not be impacted and will remain open.

"As Garrison Commander Col. Erik Berdy says frequently, 'mission first, safety always.' This DPW project is designed to make it safer to merge onto Via Aldo Moro when exiting Gate 1," said Norman Stiegler, director of DPW, United States Army Garrison Italy.

During the project, Gate 2 (also known as Chapel Gate) will remain open at all times for traffic leaving the garrison. No traffic will be allowed to enter Chapel Gate during the project. Bicyclists may use the pedestrian gate or enter though Gate 4 (Housing Gate).

There will be no change in operating hours for Gate 4.

To ease the flow of traffic as people head towards home at the end of the day, the garrison will open Gate 5 (Clinic Gate) from 4 to 7 p.m. weekdays.

These temporary changes will not affect shuttle bus services to Marco Polo Airport, Caserma Del Din or Villaggio.

The project will be completed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
