Roads into McCarran International Airport and the connector tunnel were briefly closed Friday afternoon after President Donald Trump’s rally in Las Vegas.

According to a tweet from the airport, the tunnel and roadways were closed about 2:05 p.m. “in anticipation of the arrival of the presidential motorcade.”

The airport tweeted again about 2:50 p.m. that all roadways were clear after Air Force One left the airport.

Trump held a rally at noon Friday in the Las Vegas Convention Center.
