Dozens gathered at the Spectra construction site in Peekskill in the morning, many carrying signs. Some chanted in unisons, "Arrest Spectra, not the people."

The protest caused a traffic backup.

Spectra Energy's Alqonquin Incremental Market (AIM) project would involve building the pipeline close to Indian Point facilities in Buchanan.
