Fort Bragg hustles 100,000 cars through its gates each day. If considered a municipality, Fort Bragg would be North Carolina's fifth-largest city by population.
Officials said the backups can be linked to its closing of the "Fast Lanes." The soldiers operating the additional lanes were sent back to their original military jobs to prepare for missions.

"Take something other than the All American. Now what we recommend is avoiding Knox Street. Knox Street is starting to get backed up, but Butner and Randolph streets, easy flowing from all indications," said Fort Bragg Public Affairs Officer Tom McCollum.
Fort Bragg is asking that all drivers exercise courtesy.

"Don't take your frustrations out on security guards, these guys are doing the best that they can. Their main function is ensuring Fort Bragg is a secure and safe installation," McCollum said.
Right now, there are no plans to reopen the Fast Lanes.
