How busy do the gates get at FT Bragg in the mornings?

I'm here at FT Bragg for MLC. I wasn't able to get lodging on base. What's the best time to hit the gates in the morning to avoid heavy traffic?

Academy is on the northside...Butner Rd?...gate depends on where you are living, but I'd recommend doing your best to steer clear of Reilly and Yadkin...do a route recon of Honeycutt or Randolph -- All American would be my next COA

From Two Bale, I'd use 295 to come in Reilly Rd gate, follow that to and make a left on Butner, that will take you to the Academy. Reilly gate isn't bad, it's three lane during peak traffic time and they opened another gate nearby recently that helped out.

Not there recently, but the gate I used was the back gate of Pope AAF (AFB at the time) near the sewage plant on the road from Spring Lake. Next to no traffic at the time. AP just sat in a folding chair, saluted sticker and waved through. Depending on where you're going, go right around runway and towards green ramp, exit to Bragg in old, old Division area near where the up company is locked up, tall chain link fence around barracks. Over to Longstreet. Go left around the runway and end up in the main post area.

Hi SFC Livingston, My husband and I are currently stationed here at Bragg. Traffic is extremely heavy during PT/first formation hours in the morning. If you are living 20+ minutes away from post you will want to leave a good 45 minutes or more (especially if you go through the main gate on All American.)
