A group of climate change protesters have caused traffic chaos for thousands of Melbourne commuters this morning after they blocked a key road.
A group of about 30 protesters remain parked on the CityLink overpass while holding flags and large banners.
The protesters, who appear mostly middle-aged, have blocked several lanes, causing major traffic delays of at least 20 to 30 minutes for anyone traveling from the St Kilda area onto the Eastern Highway.
“I understand the importance of the message, but there must be better ways to protest without angering people,” one traveler told 7News.
