(Updates with reopening of St Anne Street, congestion in Qormi)

St Anne Street in Floriana has been reopened after it was briefly blocked by a small number of buses this afternoon. The buses were moved on police orders.

A number of minibuses have meanwhile blocked some lanes near the Pavi supermarket in Qormi.

Earlier today a number of minibuses blocked the link between Aldo Moro Road in Marsa and the airport but that blockade has now been lifted.

The police SAG squad in riot gear was deployed on roundabouts on the approaches to Malta International Airport as members of the Transport Federation block traffic in Marsa in the morning but the SAG later stood down after a senior officer was seen speaking to the drivers. The drivers eventually moved off.
