A small group of commuters blocked traffic near a busy St. John's-area highway Monday, demanding immediate repairs to a deteriorated access ramp.
"I said enough is enough," said motorist John Newell, who was fed up as he saw cars stuck on the access ramp to Pitts Memorial Drive at the Ruby Line intersection in Mount Pearl.

Newell persuaded a handful of other drivers to take part in the protest, which lasted about three hours. It ended when a dump truck arrived late Monday morning to pour asphalt into a string of large potholes.
