Starting April 17 at 4 p.m., the main gate at 19 Wing Comox will once again be closed, this time until early July 2012.Construction in the vicinity of the main gate is part of an ongoing project to modernize and improve facilities at 19 Wing. This closure is expected to generate traffic delays on Military Row and Ryan Road.  19 Wing personnel and visitors to the base will be required to use the temporary gate, across from the 19 Wing Fitness and Community Centre, off Military Row. Flag personnel will be in the area to direct traffic during the mornings and afternoons. Visitors requiring security passes will be directed to the Military Police building via an alternate route.  It is recommended that members of the public avoid using Military Row during peak hours. Anderton and Knight roads are suggested as alternate means of access to the Comox Valley Airport during the next four months.— 19 Wing Comox
