CONSTRUCTION NOTES
Drainage work outside Mt Belvedere entrance gate has been delayed from 19 Mar 2012 until the 26th of
March 2012, this work will take three weeks to complete. Closing of roughly 1000 feet of one lane
will take place on a daily bases during the median work. They will pull the barrels and signs into
the median each night and reopen all lanes.
Road construction of the intersection of Military Rd and Mt Belvedere will start immediately after
and will last approximately two weeks.
Road construction in the area of Gas Alley and Iraqi Freedom( new entrance lanes) will restart on 12
March 2012. Construction will not interfere with traffic entering either entrance.
This work will provide an additional entrance lane and has a completion date of June 2012.
Arts and Crafts Closure
Fort Drum will be closing its Arts and Crafts center effective 30 March. This is a business-based
decision. Cost of operations and labor and insufficient generation of revenue results in the Arts and
Crafts Center Operating at a loss. Meanwhile Fort Drum has inadequate space for physical training.
The building will house gym equipment and provide space for fitness training for Soldiers and Family
members. Arts and Crafts equipment will go to the SKIES program and be auctioned off at the next NAF
auction.
