A protest in Canada over vaccine mandates is causing major problems for truckers and other drivers at the Ambassador Bridge that connects Detroit and Windsor, Ontario. The bridge was closed Tuesday morning for drivers going from Detroit to Windsor. It was shut down for more than 12 hours and some truckers had to wait that whole time. Clay Barch, a truck driver making his way in to Detroit from Illinois, told Michigan News Network the bridge closure is being felt across the state.
“All the truck stops at Benton Harbor, Berrien Springs, Chicago, Firekeeper’s Casino. There’s a whole bunch of trucks sitting out there because there’s no place for them to go when they get to Detroit.”
Traffic from Canada to Detroit started moving eventually moving. So did traffic from Detroit to Canada. Supporters of the Freedom Convoy in Canada have been blocking traffic at border crossings across the country as they protest the government’s vaccination mandate.
