Residents should expect delays and traffic congestion in the downtown area Wednesday and Thursday during President Joe Biden’s latest visit to Baltimore.

Last week, the White House announced that Biden would speak at the House of Representatives Democratic Caucus Issues Conference, which begins Wednesday at the Hyatt Regency Baltimore Inner Harbor.

According to the Baltimore City Department of Transportation, on Wednesday from 2-8 p.m. and Thursday from 6-8 a.m., drivers should expect heavy traffic downtown and in the areas beyond the central business district.

Temporary traffic stops and possible road closures will occur during those times that will cause congestion and delays, the agency said.
