However, overnight Wednesday and early Thursday, protesters moved to block off an area of ​​the street, forcing transport trucks and other traffic to stop in the city center. The main artery of the bridge has been blocked since Monday afternoon.
The situation has caused that, by land, there is no access to Canada from the US through that bridge, which continues "temporarily closed", according to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).
Authorities continue to direct commercial vehicles to another international bridge in Sarnia, Ontario, but a portion of the highway en route to that international crossing has been blocked since Thursday by protesters with farm equipment and other vehicles.

They need to stop. I spoke about it with [el primer ministro Doug Ford] tonight: our teams will continue to work to support Ontarians and get the situation under control."
