Metro Atlanta motorists could see traffic slowdowns Thursday as Vice President JD Vance swings through for two events.

Vance will address Republican National Committee members in Atlanta earlier in the day before headlining a midday event at an industrial refrigeration manufacturer in Peachtree City. Exact times for those appearances have not been announced.

Traffic will likely ramp up around the metro area as Vance makes his way from the airport to the city and then south to Peachtree City in Fayette County.

“Expect traffic delays‚” Peachtree City police posted to Facebook while sharing a news article about Vance’s visit.

Temporary flight restrictions filed with the Federal Aviation Administration begin at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport at 10:45 a.m. The restrictions migrate to an area centered around downtown Atlanta from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

From then until 3:30 p.m., flight restrictions are centered in Peachtree City, where Vance’s second event will take place. The day’s restrictions end at the Atlanta airport at 4:15 p.m.
