Fri Apr 11 15:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Massive Motorcade to Honor Medal of Honor Recipients to Cause Denton County Traffic Delays

**DENTON COUNTY, TX –** A massive motorcade of over 550 emergency and service vehicles will travel through Denton County on Wednesday afternoon, causing significant traffic delays. The eight-to-nine-mile-long procession, beginning between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. near DFW International Airport, will honor Medal of Honor recipients as part of the annual Medal of Honor Weekend.

The motorcade, described as a “historic” gathering of public safety agencies, will temporarily shut down portions of highways 183, 360, 114, and 121, as well as access points along I-35W and I-35E. Denton County officials urge drivers to be aware of potential delays and to move to the right lanes if the motorcade approaches.

Denton County Judge Andy Eads emphasized the importance of the event, stating that it reflects the county’s deep appreciation for its veterans. “Seeing the many residents who line up to welcome the Medal of Honor recipients…reminds me yet again of how Denton County emphasizes the importance of our veterans,” Eads said.

The motorcade will conclude in Gainesville. A full schedule of Medal of Honor Weekend events can be found [insert link here]. Drivers are advised to plan for significant delays and allow extra travel time on Wednesday afternoon.
