Traffic has resumed at the 37 Roundabout and surrounding roads after the Democracy Hub demonstration.
Earlier protests, part of the #OccupyJulorbiHouse movement, had led to the police blocking key routes, including those leading to Jubilee House.
The demonstration, aimed at addressing galamsey and government accountability, prompted heightened security measures.
After the protests, the roadblocks installed by police were lifted, allowing free movement through the area.
