Westside motorists could encounter some afternoon rush-hour delays Friday thanks to an anticipated weekend stopover by Vice President Kamala Harris.
Harris will be in San Bernardino Friday afternoon with Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, receiving a briefing on efforts to prevent and mitigate wildfires. They will both make public remarks about funding included in the federal infrastructure package aimed at bolstering wildfire preparedness and response.
While Harris is in San Bernardino, her husband, Doug Emhoff, is expected to take part in a “service activity” with AmeriCorps at a Los Angeles-area food bank Friday afternoon, speaking with volunteers and helping pack bags of food, according to the White House. Following that event, he will meet privately with area “legal aid providers.”
Harris is scheduled to fly to Los Angeles International Airport late Friday afternoon, en route for a weekend stay with her husband at their home in Brentwood.
The pair have no pre-announced public appearances planned over the weekend in the Southland. They are scheduled to return to Washington, D.C., on Monday.
No details have been announced about Harris’ travel plans between LAX and Brentwood, but a motorcade is likely to cause some traffic disruptions in the area.
