President Joe Biden will visit Louisiana today, stopping in Lake Charles first and then heading to New Orleans. The trip is part of his promotion of an infrastructure plan.

Biden is expected to touchdown in Lake Charles at 12:15 p.m. and in New Orleans at 3:20 p.m.

Officials declined to release any details about traffic measures and planned road closures. During previous presidential visits in New Orleans, authorities have done rolling closures on the interstate 30 minutes to an hour before the presidential motorcade is on the move.

Drivers should also plan for closures on the surface streets near Biden’s destinations in Lake Charles and New Orleans.
