Nashville drivers should expect a series of last-minute road closures Wednesday as First Lady Jill Biden visits Nashville during a multi-state trip.

Biden arrived at Nashville International Airport about 11:30 a.m. Wednesday and made her way to St. James Missionary Baptist Church for a pop-up COVID-19 vaccination clinic. The First Lady was last in Nashville in June 2021 promoting vaccination against the coronavirus.

Metro Nashville Police rarely make road closures known in advance of visits by the President, First Lady or Vice President for security purposes. For Vice President Kamala Harris' visit in May, MNPD tweeted when and where closures would occur moments before they were to begin.

On Wednesday, following Biden's 12 p.m. visit to the vaccination clinic, she will give remarks at a Democratic National Committee event in the Nashville area shortly after 1 p.m. The White House did not say where the DNC event will be held.

The White House also did not say when Biden will be leaving Nashville, but said she's scheduled to land in Milwaukee about 4 p.m.
