Working downtown Monday or trying to get around all the game traffic? Here’s a timeline from the Associated Press on when the President will arrive in the city:

6:05 p.m. – arrive at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport

6:15 p.m. – depart airport en route to New Orleans

7 p.m. – attend the College Football Playoff National Championship

9:05 p.m. depart game en route to Kenner

9:20 p.m. – arrive at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport before departing to Washington, D.C.

Usually while the presidential motorcade is coving through the city, you’ll want to avoid interstates and be ready for traffic delays due to closures. There may even be a rate increase for Uber and Lyft rides due to the increase in traffic.
