Convoy Protesting COVID-19 Mandates Circles Washington, D.C., Beltway

Hundreds of tractor-trailers, pickup trucks and other vehicles traveled down I-495 in Maryland to protest federal virus restrictions.

A large group of truck drivers who object to COVID-19 mandates drove two loops around the beltway surrounding Washington, D.C., Sunday, deliberately moving slowly to impact traffic and make their feelings known to lawmakers in the nation's capital.

People crowded onto overpasses, waving at the “People’s Convoy" and holding signs and American flags.

Within the convoy, there were tractor-trailers with horns blaring and some recreational vehicles and pickup trucks occasionally going by, mixed with the normal traffic on Interstate 495 in Maryland.
