President Joe Biden will visit New York City on Wednesday to attend what the White House defines as three campaign receptions.
President Biden is anticipated to arrive at John F. Kennedy Airport around 12:40 p.m. and subsequently travel into Manhattan, where he will attend campaign receptions.
While the White House has not disclosed the exact times or locations of these events, residents can expect road closures and traffic disruptions throughout the day.
Campaign Receptions Across Manhattan
Events are scheduled to take place on both the East Side and West Side of Manhattan between 2:30 and 7:30 p.m. As preparations are underway for Biden’s visit, barricades have been erected along West 72nd Street and Broadway on the Upper West Side. Similar setups can be observed from 60th to 80th streets along Fifth Avenue and Riverside Drive.
Intensified Fundraising Efforts
Biden’s visit follows an intensified fundraising push since December. This event precedes a significant fundraiser planned for March 28, where he will be joined by former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.
Impact on Traffic
Given the heightened security measures and associated closures, drivers should anticipate delays and plan alternate routes accordingly. The visit underscores the logistical challenges associated with high-profile political events in densely populated urban areas like New York City.
