Austin residents should prepare for significant traffic disruptions this week due to the visit of U.S. Vice President JD Vance. The city has announced that road closures and delays are expected on Monday and Tuesday, particularly in areas near the airport and downtown.
In a statement released on Saturday, city officials highlighted that the closures will affect routes from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport to Cesar Chavez Street, specifically between Red River and Brazos streets. These closures are anticipated to extend overnight on Monday.
To mitigate the impact of these delays, the City of Austin is advising residents to consider alternative travel routes and explore public transportation options, as some bus routes may be adjusted to accommodate the closures. Additionally, drivers are encouraged to refrain from parking along affected streets.
