Vice-President Mike Pence's brief Thursday visit to Ottawa will mean traffic congestion and delays at the airport, according to a former RCMP officer. Security for Pence's visit is being handled by the RCMP, the Ottawa Police Service and Parliamentary Protective Services. Bourduas said Thursday morning travellers should expect delays at the airport due to airspace being cleared for Pence's arrival. Neither Ottawa police nor the RCMP would specifically say which streets would be blocked off Thursday. Bourduas said that roads used by Pence's security detail to get the vice-president downtown, like the Airport Parkway, would "in all likelihood be blocked to traffic."
