CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA (CVILLE RIGHT NOW) – Road impacts are expected to be minimal during Pres. Donald Trump’s Friday evening visit to the Charlottesville area.
Trump will be using the restricted airways to travel first from Andrews Air Force Base to the Charlottesville Albemarle Airport (CHO), then between CHO and the Trump Winery in Blenheim.
The Trump Winery events are scheduled to start at 6:30 p.m. and the White House is not releasing an arrival time in the area.
However, the arrival would be somewhere between 5:30-6:30 p.m. during afternoon rush time, with residents expressing concerns about where tie-ups may be.
“While we cannot discuss specific security measures for the visit, residents and visitors in Albemarle County and Charlottesville may experience brief intermittent road closures during the President’s travel to and from the area,” Albemarle Police Spokesperson Logan Bogert told Cville Right Now in an email.
Meanwhile, Indivisible Charlottesville plans to gather at three locations — the intersections of Route 29 and Proffit Road, Route 29 and Hydraulic Road and Routes 53 and 20 near Saunder’s Monticello Trail — they anticipate a motorcade could run by, though there’s no information that a motorcade would happen.
The organization has previously organized its “No Kings” protests near the intersection of Route 29 and Hydraulic Road. There have also been separate “No Kings” protests organized at the intersection of Route 29 and Proffit Road.
