President's Entourage Creates No Major Bottlenecks During Fundraising Swing
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Authorities say there are no reports of major bottlenecks related to President Barack Obama's travels across West Los Angeles to attend some fundraisers.
The California Highway Patrol says a few ramps on Interstate 405 were temporarily closed Thursday for the presidential motorcade, causing minor traffic backups.
During the rush hour, there were reports of bumper-to-bumper conditions on Olympic Boulevard.
Air Force One landed at Los Angeles International Airport at about 2:30 p.m. The president then boarded a helicopter for a short flight to an unspecified landing zone, then rode in a motorcade to the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
He traveled by motorcade to two fundraisers at Sony Studios in Culver City before dining with supporters at a restaurant in Brentwood.
