Citing the storm, Extinction Rebellion organizers aiming to claim the bridge for pedestrians and cyclists have pushed back their protest by a day.

Watch for participants heading to Confederation Park for a 10 a.m. start Friday with a planned march on Parliament Hill at noon.

But people who are still driving face a pair of traffic snarls Thursday morning, one to the east and two to the west.

Dark traffic signals that had police directing traffic at Innes Road and Orléans Boulevard were restored by about 7:15 a.m. but it would take awhile to clear backed-up east end traffic.

As of about 7:30 a.m., first responders were mopping up a crash on the westbound Queensway at Highway 416 which blocked the two right lanes and the right shoulder.

PC Transpo was warning of delays on its bus routes.
