Fort Belvoir Access Tightened Up

Rules of entering the gates are changing slightly, impacting deliveries and guests.

Access rules change at Fort Belvoir.

Access rules change at Fort Belvoir.

Getting onto the base at Fort Belvoir took another step in the secure direction when the Garrison Commander directed that, starting immediately, access to Fort Belvoir is limited to individuals with valid DoD ID Cards and their minor dependents, or those holding existing sponsorship privileges. This change is indefinite and will remain in effect until ordered otherwise by the Garrison Commander.

All visitors that don’t meet the above criteria will need to meet their Fort Belvoir sponsor at the Visitor Control Center for access to the installation. To learn about visitor access, go to https://home.army.mil/belvoir/about/Garrison/DES/physical-security/expedited-visitor-access-service

This includes delivery and transportation services, the base rule states. No food delivery, taxis, or taxi-like services (Uber, Lyft, etc.) will be allowed on Fort Belvoir at this time. All food deliveries will need to occur outside of the gate.

To facilitate this change to the policy, Tulley Gate off Richmond Highway near the Town of Accotink will now be open 24 hours. Lieber Gate up by the hospital will be open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. All sponsors will now need to meet their visitors or pick up food deliveries in the parking lot of the Tulley Gate Visitor Control Center starting Saturday, Aug. 3.
