President Barack Obama is due to arrive at Raleigh-Durham International Airport soon, where he'll be greeted by Raleigh Mayor Charles Meeker.

The media are gathered at the airport to watch Air Force One touch down, reports Kevin Kiley.

Then the presidential motorcade will make its way to Broughton High School. The route will take the president through downtown, possibly on McDowell Street, reports Bruce Siceloff on his blog, Crosstown Traffic. The police have bagged parking meters and blocked off downtown streets.
