Major delays reported as trucker convoy drives DC highways, police block roads

WASHINGTON (7News) – Drivers are facing major delays again Wednesday heading into the District due to a demonstration related to a trucker convoy and related police operations. 

On Wednesday afternoon, at one point traffic was at a standstill on the 14th Street Bridge, so much so some of the truckers were able to get out of the rigs and stand on the side of the roadway.

But the truckers say they aren't creating the traffic delays and instead they say it's police creating the gridlock.

Also, one trucker reported a cyclist laid their bike in front of a truck on I-395 near exit 10C blocking them for several hours.

7News received reports from truckers with The People's Convoy that there are 500 rigs and cars affiliated with the convoy Wednesday afternoon.
