Philadelphia traffic: Biden visit, Eagles home opener may cause rush hour delays
PHILADELPHIA - Driving around Philadelphia is about to be even more of a headache starting Monday afternoon.
First, President Joe Biden is coming to Philadelphia to speak at the 2024 National HBCU Week Conference. He will be speaking at the Marriott Downtown at 12th and Filbert streets.
He is expected to arrive at Philadelphia International Airport at 1 p.m. and depart at 4 p.m.
Then, the Eagles home opener kicks off at 8:15 p.m. at Lincoln Financial Field.
However, fans will be pouring into South Philadelphia all day to tailgate as this week's rain holds out for the game.
