Police say streets that were closed to traffic during the Jerusalem pride parade have now reopened — with the exception of Agron, Menashe Ben Yisael and Hillel streets — as marchers have reached Independence Park,.

Parade-goers began congregating at Liberty Bell Park from 4:15 p.m. this afternoon before heading up Keren Hayesod and King George streets toward the park.

Some 25,000 people are participating in the parade.
