IRVINGTON, N.Y. - New Yorkers can expect a bit of congestion Friday morning ahead of President Joe Biden's departure from New York City.
His motorcade was spotted near Time Square around 10 a.m.
The President is expected to arrive in Washington D.C. later in the afternoon.
"Welcome back to Chips Country, POTUS!" New York Governor Kathy Hochul posted to X Thursday.
On Thursday, Biden joined Hochul and Senator Chuck Schumer in Syracuse to announce a more than $6 billion investment into Micron.
Biden spent the other half of the day in Irvington, courting business leaders and donors like Eileen Fisher.
We're building on my work to bring semiconductor manufacturing back home with a preliminary agreement between my Administration and Micron – a major chip manufacturer.
$6.1 billion from us for 3 fabs.
$125 billion from Micron.
70,000 jobs across New York and Idaho.

The event reportedly caused delays, forcing schools in the area into early dismissal.
Irvington, Ardsley, Dobbs Ferry, Tarrytown, and Hastings-on-Hudson school districts got out around 1 p.m. in an attempt to avoid traffic.
Biden is expected to leave at John F. Kennedy International Airport during rush hour Friday.
He will arrive at the White House around 1:30 p.m.
