Traffic flow returned to normal following day 1 of protests

Cochrane commuters shouldn't have any issues on their drive to work this morning. 

Traffic flow at the Hwy. 1 and 22 Interchange is once again flowing normally in both directions. 

This is following disruptions from an ongoing protest near the Petro-Canada/A&W restaurant at the Hwy. 22-TransCanada interchange south of Cochrane.

The protest coincides with the federal government's decision to increase the carbon price from $65 per tonne to $80 per tonne, effective yesterday.
