SHEPPARD AIR FORCE BASE, Texas --
Local Conditions/Traffic Safety
Course Update
Effective Monday, July 11 at 4 p.m., the Safety Office will
conduct the first consolidated Local Conditions/Traffic Safety Course. There
will no longer be any Tuesday briefings at 1 p.m. Please ensure that your
newcomer’s/TDY personnel inprocessing checklists are updated to reflect only
the available Monday 4 p.m. briefings. This will go a long way towards
minimizing confusion and reduce personnel showing up Tuesdays for a briefing
that isn’t happening anymore. Again, this course is held at Building 558, Room
125.

Missile Road Construction Update
Due to the road construction to repair intersection of
Missile Road and Avenue D/E, 20 MPH reduced speed limits will be erected 1000
linear feet in all directions from the intersection. This creates a safer
condition for both construction workers and traffic in this area. Complete
intersection repair will be accomplished in multiple phases, estimated
completion 1 August 2016.
Drivers are asked to please respect barricades and
exercise caution while driving around the construction area. This project will be completed as quickly and
as safely as possible, and we ask for your patience and cooperation during the
construction period.
