President Biden expected to be in town beginning Nov. 8

In what will be one of his last visits to the Cape Region as commander-in-chief, President Joe Biden is expected to be at his North Shores home this weekend.

There hasn’t been an official notice from the White House, but the Federal Aviation Administration issued a temporary flight restriction notice Nov. 6 for the area over his North Shores home that begins at 5 p.m., Friday, Nov. 8, and runs through 9:30 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 10.

This is the first time he’s been to his Rehoboth Beach-area home since September and the first time since Election Day. The Bidens haven’t been out as much in public recently as they have in years past, but if they do venture out, send photos to cflood@capegazette.com.

This is what can typically be expected in terms of security measures for when the president is in town:

• Gordons Pond users could see restrictions. The park’s parking lot is just around the corner from Biden’s home and is used as a landing site for Marine One

• If Biden decides to drive, motorists on Route 1 should be prepared for delays. By road, there’s really only one way to his house – southbound on Route 1, then through Rehoboth Beach. As the presidential motorcade makes its way south, police and state personnel sit at all intersections blocking traffic
• The FAA’s temporary flight restrictions limit use of the airspace – including drones – from Dover south to Ocean City, Md., and west to the Maryland border
• The Coast Guard establishes security zones in the ocean area immediately in front of North Shores beach and in the Lewes-Rehoboth Canal.
