the off-ramps for Fort Irwin Road on Interstate 15.

A crew from California Department of Transportation
District 8 (San Bernardino and Riverside County) installed
the new signs, June 11. The signs were placed on the north-
bound and southbound sides near the exits, 189, for this
military installation.

“This is a milestone for the National Training Center,” said
Col. Jon Braga, commander of Fort Irwin United States Army
Garrison. “This is the Army’s premier training center and the
largest Army installation in California. Fort Irwin has been
here since the ‘40s and the National Training Center has been
here since 1979, so it’s a great feeling to be identified on the
California highway system. Fort Irwin thanks the California
Transportation Department for giving us this signage.”

The maintenance lead worker for the sign crew, Anthony
Pence, said the signs last about 10 years. Crews check highway
signs at night for reflectivity and if they are less than 50 percent
reflective, they are changed.

The sign on the southbound side required poles to be put
in the ground, with holes made by a large auger. The crew
completed the work in approximately 90 minutes. Efficiency is
needed, due to the crew being on the side of a busy interstate.

Safety is priority, said Pence.
“The crew is amazing,” Pence said. “Everybody knows what
they’re doing. We’ve been together for a while.”
