According to the St. Clair County Sheriff’s office, traffic is flowing again on eastbound I-94 and I-69 after days of serious backups. Barricades that were placed on eastbound entrance ramps were removed this morning allowing travelers to utilize local freeways without restriction.
Wait times to enter Canada at the Blue Water Bridge were 2 hours for commercial vehicles and no delays for personal vehicles as of 10 AM this morning.
Traffic was backed up for miles in St. Clair County on and off since Monday as truckers attempted to utilize the Blue Water Bridge to enter Canada due to closure of the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit.
The Ambassador Bridge was closed in response to a protest by truckers who are opposed to government mandates that prevent them from cross-border travel unless they are vaccinated against COVID-19.
Protestors insist they will not stop until COVID-19 mandates and restrictions are lifted.
