FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) — Dallas drivers hit road blocks and delays that were out of the ordinary for a Saturday evening.

Streets from downtown to uptown were blocked off for Vice President Joe Biden, who was scheduled to speak at the Gill Foundation's OutGiving Dinner; a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender event at the Ritz-Carlton in Uptown.

Many lined the streets to catch his motorcade driving by.

Included in Vice President Biden's schedule was a private fundraiser held by the Democratic Governors Association.

Dallas attorney Jeffrey B. Simon hosted the event.
