MCAS New River Construction Map  Camp Geiger Entrance improvement project. Two additional lanes onto Camp Geiger as well as two lanes behind the Commisary leading to Campbell St., an additional outbound lane in addition to relocating the controlled four-way intersection currently at Wendy's to the enterance of the Commisary. V-22 Aviation Complex Project includes an addition to an exsisting hanger and a multi-story aircraft hangar to operation and maintenance four (4) V-22 squadrons. This hanger will also include a 4 story 1,250 car overhead parking garage, heat resistant aircraft parking apron for 50 aircraft and a new parallel taxiway. Alternate Route to the Station Marina- Traffic congestion with intermittent delays along Curtis road; extended delays and traffic re-routing will occur on Longstaff Street until further notice. Access will be maintained to the Marina area via an alternate route on Perimeter road.

Camp Geiger Access Improvements- Substantial construction activity on the Air Station main thoroughfare (Curtis road), modified vehicle traffic patterns with increased construction trucks and heavy equipment, temporary construction of new inbound lane, traffic congestion with intermittent delays along Curtis road; extended delays and traffic re-routing will occur on Curtis Road daily until further notice. Completion Date: Fall 2013 V-22 Aviation Complex Project includes an addition to an exsisting hanger and a multi-story aircraft hangar to operation and maintenance four (4) V-22 squadrons. This hanger will also include a 4 story 1,250 car overhead parking garage, heat resistant aircraft parking apron for 50 aircraft and a new parallel taxiway.

Access will be maintained to the Marina area via an alternate route on Perimeter road. Speedlimit 25MPH during construction. Speedlimit 25MPH during construction. Traffic light at the old Camp Geiger enterance has been moved to the intersection of the new Camp Geiger enterance just before the Commissary. The pedestrian crosswalk at the old light is now controlled by a flashing light only. Pedestrians have the right of way which means all vehicles must yield to pedestrian traffic. New unmanned enterance to Camp Geiger viewable from the light at the intersection of Campbell and Church St's.
