FORT MOORE, Ga. – Fort Moore is continuing its construction and implementation of active vehicle barriers (AVB) across several access control points on the installation, further enhancing security measures. Planning and initial construction began in June 2024, with work scheduled to be completed in April 2025.
Fort Moore began the months-long construction process starting with the installation of an AVB system at the Plumley Access Control Point 3, Fort Moore’s main gate, on Lindsey Creek Parkway/I-185. Major testing was completed Dec. 11, 2024. Plumley ACP is fully operational for traffic and the active vehicle barrier system is expected to be fully operational by mid-January, pending the completion of endurance testing and personnel training, according to Jim Webster, physical security chief, Directorate of Emergency Services.
“The active vehicle barriers enhance the overall security for the installation,” said Webster. “If there was ever a threat vehicle and it needed to be stopped, we will have the capability to stop the threat, once construction is complete.”
Three additional access control points will receive the upgraded security measures: Grange Access Control Point 2, Cashe Access Control Point 5A, and Childers Gate Access Control Point 8.
Construction of the AVB at Grange ACP will begin in mid-January 2025, followed by Cashe ACP in early February 2025. Childers Gate ACP is still in the design phase, with completion anticipated in April 2025.
Updates on future gate closures and potential delays will be announced on the Fort Moore Garrison Facebook page
