Connecticut State Police closed down Interstate 84 in Danbury for about an hour as some protestors moved from CityCenter to the highway.  At one point protestors were also blocking the exit 5 ramps as they made their way to and from city streets to the interstate.  

State Police say as of about 2:45pm the road was cleared of pedestrians.  There was still heavy traffic and some road closures locally as the group headed back to the area of the library.

A majority of the protestors continued on the planned route from the police station back to the library where crowds gathered at noon to start the demonstration.

Hundreds of people came together in downtown Danbury this afternoon calling for change as part of protests across the country in response to the police custody death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.  As marchers moved up West Street to City Hall, there were chants of "No Justice, No Peace" and "I Can't Breathe" among others.  

At City Hall, several speakers delivered messages on the topic of law enforcement reform, equality and more.  Mayor Mark Boughton briefly joined the crowd.  Most people in attendance were wearing masks, though there was little social distance occurring. 

The march then moved down New Street, around to Kennedy Avenue and onto Main Street to head to the police station.  While there, more remarks were made.  People chanted "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" as others in the crowd took a knee.
