MilitaryINSTALLATIONS gives the route from Clarksville’s I-24 Exit 86 as US-41A South, also called Fort Campbell Boulevard, followed by a right turn toward Gate 4 about 4.2 miles later. The airfield is on the installation, so reaching a gate does not by itself authorize entry.

Clarksville Transit System Route 1 enters Fort Campbell through Gate 4 and stops at the Post Exchange and Commissary. It runs hourly from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m., six days a week, and costs $1.50; passengers need valid military identification.

Confirm current route and fare details with the transit operator before relying on this option. For local trip planning, how to get around Clarksville without guesswork is relevant to the city portion of your journey.
