Eastern Freeway, CityLink, Punt Road traffic delays in Melbourne as climate change protesters block cars
A group of climate change protesters caused traffic chaos for thousands of commuters in Melbourne this morning after closing a major road.
A group of about 30 protesters remain stationed on the CityLink overpass, holding up flags and large banners.
The protesters, who appear to be mainly middle-aged, have blocked several lanes, causing significant traffic delays of at least 20 to 30 minutes for anyone traveling from the St Kilda area towards the Eastern Freeway.
“I understand the importance of the message, but there has to be better ways to protest without making people angry,” one commuter told 7News.
