Be aware: Vice President Joe Biden’s visit expected to snarl traffic in L.A., Beverly Hills

Heavy traffic -- OK, heavier -- is anticipated as Vice President Joe Biden arrives in Los Angeles on Tuesday for a three-day visit that includes stumping for a higher minimum wage.

After traveling here from Denver, Biden will head over to Beverly Hills, where closures of Sepulveda, Santa Monica and Wilshire boulevards are scheduled (a full list is below).

On Wednesday, Biden and Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti will visit Bobrick Washroom Equipment in North Hollywood to discuss creating “a pathway to the middle class” with a living wage, according to the White House.

During his speech -- which will be streamed live -- Biden is expected to advocate for enhanced overtime protections for workers, according to the White House.

He’ll return to Beverly Hills on Wednesday night to attend an event for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, the White House said.

On Thursday, Biden will fly to San Francisco to visit a manufacturing facility for Theranos, a health technology company.
