PORT HURON, Mich. – Canadian truckers protesting at the Ambassador Bridge
in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, have caused a miles-long traffic jam at the
Blue Water Bridge in Port Huron, Michigan, where commercial traffic was
rerouted when the Ambassador Bridge was closed to vehicles entering
Canada.

Truckers billing themselves the "Freedom Convoy" began blocking lanes
Monday on the Canadian side of the Ambassador Bridge, which links Detroit
to Windsor, causing a traffic jam that eventually led to the bridge
closing down traffic to Canada.

Exit ramps from the highway to the bridge in Detroit remained closed for a
third day on Wednesday, with commercial traffic being rerouted north to
Port Huron's Blue Water Bridge. But the excess traffic trying to cross
that bridge has caused a new jam, with traffic backed up nearly nine miles
on Interstate 94, leading up to the bridge in Port Huron.

The Ambassador Bridge is typically the busiest crossing on the United
States-Canada border, carrying more than 8,000 commercial vehicles on
weekdays and nearly 3 million per year. The bridge also carries roughly
27% of all trade between Canada and the United States.

All of that traffic has now begun flowing about 67 miles north to the Blue
Water Bridge, which typically only carries just over 2,000 commercial
vehicles per day.

The bottleneck has caused angst among Canadian authorities, with Ontario
Premier Doug Ford calling the protest at the Ambassador Bridge an "illegal
occupation" Wednesday.

"The Ambassador Bridge is one of the most vital trade corridors in our
country," Ford said in a statement. "The damage this is causing to our
economy, to people's jobs and their livelihoods is totally unacceptable.
We cannot let this continue."

The protests have also garnered attention from Canadian Prime Minister
Justin Trudeau and the White House, with Trudeau calling the
demonstrations "unacceptable" Wednesday.

"Blockades, illegal demonstrations are unacceptable, and are negatively
impacting businesses and manufacturers," Trudeau said during remarks in
the House of Commons.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki expressed concerns that the protests
could pose "a risk to supply chains."

The truckers have been demonstrating against Canada's COVID-19
restrictions since last month, most notably rules that mandate drivers to
be vaccinated or face stiff quarantine requirements when entering Canada.

They have vowed to stay put until restrictions are lifted, despite the
mounting pressure against them.
