Up Front for Oct. 27

Halloween Hours
The official hours for trick or treating on Fort Belvoir are 6 to 8 p.m. Monday.

In spite of the fun and excitement Halloween represents, the holiday presents three primary dangers that children and parents must be aware of - traffic, abduction and tainted candy. Wear bright clothes and masks you can see from, be aware of children at all times, and parents should check candy before eating.

Not everyone celebrates Halloween or gives out candy. If someone hasn't decorated or does not have their porch light on, do not approach the home.

Road construction
Pohick Road from Theote Road to 12th Street will be closed Saturday and Sunday. Detour signs will redirect traffic along Theote Road to 16th Street and up Gunston Road. Please be careful around this construction zone.

Claims Office hours
New, walk-in, customer service hours for the Fort Belvoir Claims Office will be 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday effective Nov. 3. The claims office will be open for walk-in customer service from 1 to 3 p.m. on Thursdays, but will be closed on Thursday mornings for training.
