Commute to JEB Little Creek-Fort Story
Two installations, two different commute patterns. Here is how to route to each gate.
Two Bases, Two Commutes
JEB Little Creek-Fort Story is a single command, but the work locations are physically separate. Little Creek is in northern Virginia Beach on the Chesapeake Bay (Shore Drive corridor). Fort Story is at Cape Henry, where the bay meets the Atlantic. Most sailors and soldiers live close to their primary work site rather than splitting the difference.
