The bridge in Canada where thousands of semitruck drivers camped out in a protest against COVID-19 vaccine mandates has reopened, according to officials.

The blockade of commercial trailers on the Ambassador Bridge, which connects the city of Windsor, Ontario, to Detroit, Michigan, ended peacefully Sunday with no violence after police described many protesters exhibiting "aggressive, illegal behavior" on Saturday, Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens told ABC News.

The bridge reopened late Sunday night, the Detroit International Bridge Company announced.

"Today, our national economic crisis at the Ambassador bridge came to an end," Dilkens wrote in a statement. "Border crossings will reopen when it is safe to do so and I defer to police and border agencies to make that determination."
