Commuters, including students, who use the Point Hill main road in St Catherine had to walk miles to get transportation this morning after taxi operators blocked a section of the corridor.

The scores of operators are protesting the state of the road, which they say has been in a bad condition for over a decade.

The operators used trees and other debris to block the roadway.

The road was later cleared by the police.
