12 Sep 2019 / Houston, United States
The Houston Ship Channel was closed at 06.30 hours local time today (12 September), due to protesters on the Fred Hartman Bridge.
According to local news reports, 22 Greenpeace USA protesters formed a blockade over the bridge in Baytown ahead of the third 2020 Democratic debate, claiming they intend to remain in place for 24 hours, preventing the transport of all oil and gas through the channel.
At 11am local time, the channel was closed to all traffic passing the Fred Hartman bridge, but shifting in the upper channel and traffic below the bridge was open. The U.S. Coast Guard was on the scene trying to clear the area.
