(ST. CLAIR COUNTY) – After days of semi trucks backed up for miles, both at the Blue Water Bridge in Port Huron and the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit, truck traffic is flowing once again as police keep an eye on the two borders.
Canadian officials and police worked over the weekend to disburse the large contingent of protestors and trucks that plugged both the Ambassador Bridge and Blue Water Bridge crossings.
Late last week, Canadian authorities proclaimed a temporary State of Emergency, allowing police to arrest protestors who refused to clear a path across the bridges and to have trucks towed away.
On Saturday, at least two groups of truckers and supporting passenger vehicles made their way to Port Huron to show their support of the truckers, on both sides of the bridges.
One convoy came down M-25 from Port Austin to the Thomas Edison Parkway in Port Huron Saturday, meeting at the base of the Blue Water bridge.
Another group came from the west side of Sanilac County, also meeting up with the other participants in Port Huron for a peaceful demonstration.
Authorities say the big rigs continue to cause headaches for officials in Ottawa where the protest originated.
