Protesters have gathered at the state Capitol in Denver in the wake of the Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade.

Marchers, carrying signs and chanting, are on the move and Denver police have shut down the intersection of East 13th Avenue and Lincoln Street before 6 p.m. The intersection reopened in about an hour.

Rolling closures of intersections happened Friday night along Broadway between 20th Street and Colfax Avenue and along East Colfax Avenue as thousands marched through city streets in the downtown area.

Police urge drivers to use caution and use alternate routes if possible.
