President Trump arrives in NEPA later today and his visit will be limited to a small number of supporters. He will be speaking at Mariotti Building products in Old Forge at 3pm. The visit will also mean significant traffic delays.  State police say they  plan rolling roadblocks and closures on Interstate 81 north and south — between the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport/Avoca, exit 178, and Moosic, exit 180.  Drivers should also expect road closings in Moosic and Old Forge near Mariotti Building Products between 1:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. Police are asking drivers to find alternate routes to avoid congestion  and traffic  delays.
