A suspicious item was found Monday during a commercial vehicle inspection at McConnell Air Force Base.
The item was discovered during the noon hour, and it was later determined to be non-hazardous and non-dangerous. A decision was made to close the West Gate of the base near George Washington Boulevard and Oliver and cordon off the area during the investigation. Traffic near the gate was also blocked for a time.
Base officials said all vehicles are subject to search and screening.
