WASHINGTON (AP) -- For a second day this weekend, protesters have blocked traffic in Washington, this time on the Southeast-Southwest Freeway of Interstate-395.
The D.C. Department of Transportation reported the highway was closed Sunday afternoon near the 3rd Street Tunnel. Images online showed a line of protesters holding hands, blocking traffic in both directions. Police were on the scene.
The highway was reopened to traffic a short time later.
Some people alongside the protest were holding signs opposing the Ferguson, Missouri, grand jury decision from last week.
On Saturday, protesters blocked streets in the busy Georgetown neighborhood and in the Pentagon City area of Arlington County. The protests remained peaceful and nonviolent.
