CHANGES to GONZALEZ 19 Nov Ceremony

Posted: 11/16/2024

The previous driving recommendations to base gate Nr and GONZALEZ berth are no longer valid. See new directions and Wx forecast below.

However, if you are driving into the area through the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel construction zone, previous comments are still germane, plus you need get on the road back thru the HRBT ASAP after the ceremony – expect to be in stop and go immediately upon entering I-64 North.

Classmates if there are any more cancellations, please let Charlie Votava know ASAP.
