Kalaklan Gate Closed for Renovation
All Travelers to SBMA and Baretto: On 16th of June 2010, the Kalaklan (the one at the Olongapo Cemetery) will be closed for the rest of this year and into 2011 as they are building a new bridge and using the old bridge for cranes during the construction. The old bridge will be torn down. Travelers going to baretto or Subic must now go out the Rizal Avenue gate (at Gordon General Hospital), or the 14th Avenue Gate, and drive through Olongapo. Traffic is expected to be terrible during this timeframe.

The Main Gate is still closed with no schedule date to reopen.
