The intersection of Broadway and Cambie re-opened early Wednesday morning after protesters set up a blockade Tuesday afternoon.
The major roadway was shut down for most of Tuesday afternoon and throughout the night, before protesters moved on just before 6:30 a.m.
Traffic is now flowing in all directions.
The blockade at Broadway and Cambie has caused traffic chaos along one of the city’s busiest corridors — Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»police were advising drivers to avoid the area and TransLink was been forced to divert several bus routes around the blockade.
The protest was one of several that have taken place in the city, and across B.C. and Canada, since last week.
The first protest started Feb. 5, hours after RCMP officers near Houston, B.C. moved in to enforce a court injunction ordering members of the Wet’suwet’en and supporters remove a blockade stopping access to a natural gas pipeline work site. By Monday, 28 people were arrested.
Supporters here in Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»first targeted the Port of Vancouver, setting up blockades at the port’s three entrance points.
After three days, the Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»Fraser Port Authority got an injunction in B.C. Supreme Court to restore access to the port and on Monday morning police moved in to arrest any protesters still refusing to leave. Forty-three people were arrested.
