President Joe Biden will be visiting New York City on Wednesday to attend several campaign receptions, according to his official schedule.
Air Force One will touch down at JFK Airport at roughly 12:40 p.m., and the president will then make his way to Lower Manhattan via helicopter.
The trip precedes a March 28 event where Biden will be joined by former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.
Police were not immediately able to say where the presidential motorcade would be traveling but drivers can expect traffic jams, commotion and delays on the East and West Sides throughout the day.
Biden’s events in Manhattan are expected to conclude around 7:30 p.m., when he’ll leave Lower Manhattan by helicopter and board Air Force One to return to Washington.
