On Wednesday, several Congressional Medal of Honor Recipients will be arriving at DFW Airport and will be traveling to Gainesville. They will be surrounded by a large motorcade of public safety vehicles escorting them to their destination.
This year will feature a historic number of public safety agencies participating in the honor motorcade.
Current estimates are expecting the motorcade to stretch 8-9 miles long with well over 550 vehicles participating. They will leave the staging area on the South end of DFW Airport at around 4 pm.
Leaders are telling citizens traveling along this motorcade route to be aware of traffic delays that will occur during this short time span.
Some parts of Hwy 183, 360, 114, 121 and many access points along I-35 W and I-35E will be temporarily shut down.
