It's not every day the President of the United States come to Northeast Pa. Today, there will be many traffic restrictions in the area of the Scranton Cultural Center at the Masonic Temple in downtown Scranton. Starting at noon today, the closures will remain until the event ends and the presidential convoy has left the area. The Fox News Town Hall with President Donald Trump takes place from 6:30 until 7:30pm. Only those people who were able to secure tickets to the event will be allowed to get into the venue. Walking will also be restricted in the area. Some businesses have opted to close down due to the issues employees would have getting to and from work. Police advise you to avoid the area altogether as it is expected to be congested throughout the day.
