(CNN) -- A Utah military facility that tests chemical and biological weapons was locked down "to resolve a serious concern," and authorities were working to reopen the base, officials said Thursday.

The U.S. Army's Dugway Proving Ground has been locked down since 7:25 p.m. ET on Wednesday, a spokeswoman said. All base personnel were working, and no evacuation was needed, she said.

Dugway commander Col. William E. King IV said earlier authorities were "working as quickly and as thoroughly as possible to resolve a serious concern within the Test Area" but he didn't elaborate.
