MARINE CORPS AIR STATION IWAKUNI, Japan -- Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, in conjunction with Chugoku-Shikoku Defense Bureau, continues to make every possible effort to reduce the impact of on-base construction and related activities on the local community, to include the issue of traffic congestion. As another example of these initiatives, a temporary construction-vehicle-only overpass was recently completed aboard Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, providing construction vehicles entering the base a more direct, obstacle-free route to their work sites. The overpass, scheduled to open Oct. 1, was designed in close coordination with the CSDB, and should significantly reduce off-base traffic delays, back-ups and other such road congestion caused by base-bound construction vehicles.
