Bus driver protest briefly shuts down Juárez border bridge

CIUDAD JUÁREZ , Chihuahua (KVIA) -- A group of bus drivers blocked northbound traffic into El Paso early Monday morning,

ABC-7's news partners in Juarez, Canal 44, report that these bus drivers were protesting the State of Chihuahua because it intends to remove concessions that would modernize public transport.

A spokesperson for CBP tells ABC-7 the Paso Del Norte bridge was shut down around 6:45 a.m. due to a "blockade", but was reopened about an hour later.

Pedestrian traffic was not affected.
