NEW YORK — Immigrant rights protesters have chained themselves to the George Washington Bridge, causing major traffic disruption during the height of the morning rush hour.
Delays at the bridge for traffic heading into New York from New Jersey extended for at least an hour.
CCTV cameras showed bumper-to-bumper traffic inching along.
The group of ‘protesters’ chained themselves across the roadway to block traffic, taking out large banners in an attempt to spread their message.
One banner read “Resist, Organized, Act Up!”
Reports indicate that drivers were clashing with the protesters in an effort to get the bridge open.
