Joe Biden Hits the Hamptons, Causes Delays on Roads

Traffic diverted and backed up on Montauk Highway and County Road 39 in Water Mill and Southampton.

Vice President Joe Biden arrived on the South Fork on Friday for a fundraiser to support the re-election of President Obama — and plenty of people took notice. 

Patch received reports of heavy traffic in Southampton and Water Mill as the vice president's motorcade prepared to drive through both towns toward Bridgehampton, where the fundraiser was being held. 

The FAA placed  beginning on Friday at 6:30 p.m. and ending on Saturday at 1 a.m., though the vice presiden seemed to have arrived around 5 p.m. 

One person on Twitter told us that Biden's plane landed at Gabreski Airport in Westhampton on Friday morning around 9:45 a.m. We wonder what he did in the interim. . . 

Did you see Biden's motorcade on Friday? Did you get held up in traffic? Tell us in the comments below.

well after the town board meeting last night the way i see it is the whole town is affected andRead More everyting and everyweek is some one getting away with out paying , we have familys of teenagers sharing rooms with there parnets and siblngs , cause the cost of living , hmmm but no matter where you go it cost money , teachers have there work cut out for them if they have to spend 50 dollars to buy stuff its there choice , well what it boils down to is the childern parnetns rather drive cars and have nice clothes and fancy jelws than spend 5 or 1o dollars to pay for pens for there kids to go to schoo.also i dont feel the familys see what education really is is a free babysitting service thats my feelings ,

Yes. The town is in the final stages of review with the FAA. While they were hoping to have it upRead More and running by Memorial Day weekend, it looks more like the 1st of June.

That's great. From what I understand, no one lodged a complaint with the town. Seems after I called,Read More a few phone calls were made and they carted it off.
