Tens of thousands of protesters have taken over one of Hong Kong's main arteries, Nathan Road, from Mong Kok all the way down to Jordan.
All six lanes of the major road are now blocked to traffic.
Earlier, there was a relatively quiet atmosphere when protesters broke away from the approved route. But now they've picked up steam, chanting and handing out supplies.
Demonstrators are now streaming down towards Tsim Tsa Tsui -- the major shopping district on the tip of Kowloon.
Some have begun to build barricades, pulling fences and steel barriers on to the street.
Despite the mass protest on this unapproved route being an illegal assembly, there are still no signs of police.
Organizers say 120,000 people attended today's Mong Kok protests.
