Biden snarls traffic in Westchester for fundraiser at $4.5 million home of Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta-Jones
NY Post
President Biden’s campaign fundraiser at the Westchester County home of Hollywood stars Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones caused a traffic nightmare in towns along the Hudson River Thursday.
Westchester County officials closed about a 2-mile-long stretch of Route 9, from Tarrytown to Irvington, ahead of the 81-year-old president’s appearance at the high-dollar fundraiser.
Other road closures were not announced because of security concerns.
Streets in Irvington were “full of new signage” Thursday, one X user reported, sharing images of barricades limiting roads to “local traffic” and “residents only.”
Government offices in Irvington, including the town court and library, closed at 1 p.m.
Five school districts in the area sent children home early in anticipation of the traffic congestion Biden’s visit would cause.
