Transformation Activity
Details
June 1-2 WAAF South Gate The South Gate on Wiesbaden Army Airfield will be closed to all inbound and outbound traffic June 1 and to all heavy traffic June 2 while asphalt on the new traffic circle dries.
May 10 Detour at DPW on WAAF The entrance to the Directorate of Public Works and Transformation and Stationing Management Office at Diltz Platz on Wiesbaden Army Airfield will be blocked starting at 4:30 p.m. May 10 due to a sewer update project. It will remain blocked for about a week. Click here for a map indicating how to access the parking in the area.
May 7 WAAF Pedestrian Bridge removed A walkway now connects the area near the shoppette (where the former pedestrian bridge was located) and the Wiesbaden Fitness Center/Dining Facility.
May 15 to Sept. 15 WAAF Community Bank construction Services will be provided in a trailer on the Community Bank parking lot on Wiesbaden Army Airfield while renovation work is in progress. Parking will be reduced during that time (click here to see the map of parking and traffic flow).
Feb. 14 WAAF Parking Garage opens A new parking garage is now open providing space for 1,100 vehicles on Wiesbaden Army Airfield. It is located next to the Wiesbaden Dining Facility and access is currently through the Wiesbaden Fitness Center parking lot. All employees on the installation are encouraged to use the new facility to free up limited short-term parking on the installation.
Starting Jan. 25 New Traffic Circle

Construction on a new traffic circle connecting WAAF South Housing to the airfield will reroute traffic while work is in progress for the next several months. Drivers are urged to use caution when nearing South Gate by the Arts and Crafts Center. Temporary short-term parking for Child Development Center drop-off will be relocated across the street to the Arts and Crafts Center parking lot with designated half-hour customer parking. Arts and Crafts patrons are asked to be patient during this phase of the construction work and to seek longer term parking in other areas on the airfield.
