COLORADO SPRINGS — Hundreds of people lined up in freezing temperatures more than 24 hours ahead of President Trump’s rally in Colorado Springs Wednesday evening.

Trump is scheduled to speak at a rally at 5 p.m. Thursday at the World Arena as part of his 2020 re-election campaign, alongside Senator Cory Gardner. You can watch the event live here on FOX21News.com.

Traffic impacts

Trump is set to arrive at Peterson Air Force Base Thursday afternoon. The president’s travel route is not announced in advance, so drivers across southern Colorado Springs should be prepared for traffic impacts Thursday afternoon and evening, especially between 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.

Harrison District 2 schools are dismissing students early due to expected road closures and traffic. James Irwin Charter Schools will also close early.
