The CR-539 project will allow the Army to continue and expand its vital national security mission to train Army Reservist and Army National Guard Members during peacetime. Additionally, it will allow shore-bound motorists safer travel by keeping military vehicles and conveys off CR 539 and State Highway Route 70, which are currently their common routes to go from one end of the base to the other.
