March Caused Traffic Delays Tuesday In South Brunswick

A march on Route 1 south Tuesday morning caused traffic delays in South Brunswick.

The organized march started around 10 a.m. Tuesday on Route 1 south, south of Promenade Boulevard, police said.

But traffic was already heavy before the march began, and by 11 a.m., traffic on the southbound side of the highway was backed up for about a mile, police said.

Marchers planned to walk through South Brunswick, Plainsboro, West Windsor and Lawrenceville.

The marchers are participating in the March 2 Justice.

The march, organized by Justice League NYC, started in New York City and is expected to end next week in Washington D.C., according to NJ.com.

The activists want Congress to pass a package of police reforms that they say would “end racial profiling, demilitarize our police forces and shift juvenile justice from institutionalization to prevention,” NJ.com reported.
