A trucker protest returned to the D.C. area over the holiday weekend, briefly slowing traffic along a few major roadways.
The group, called the 1776 Restoration Movement, had three separate convoys staged Monday on southbound Interstate 95 near Route 198, northbound Interstate 395 near the D.C.-Virginia line and Interstate 270 near its interchange with Interstate 370, according to WJLA-TV, the local ABC affiliate for D.C.
Truckers and other motorists “comprised of nurses, teachers, carpenters, plumbers, engineers, legal professionals, veterans, homemakers, and more,” per WJLA, briefly blocked traffic for about 30 minutes in the early part of the day on July 4th.
