Protesters from the Occupy Boston movement plan on participating in the national day of protest with a march from the Dewey Square encampment to the Charlestown Bridge, where they will be met by members from the Massachusetts Building Trades Council.

Organizers say the march, scheduled for Thursday afternoon, is an effort to protest congressional efforts to block jobs creation bills and recommended job-killing budget cuts.

Unemployed workers are expected to participate.

The Boston march is expected to be one of hundreds nationwide to decaying bridges in need of repair. The marches also come on the two-month anniversary of the movement’s start in New York.

Organizers say the bridges are a symbol of the opportunity to put people back to work.

"We have two grave problems facing America today, a crumbling and neglected infrastructure in need of repair and millions of unemployed construction workers who desperately need work," Massachusetts Building Trades Council President Frank Callahan said in a statement. "The most direct solution to both problems is for Congress to pass the American Jobs Act to re-invest in our infrastructure and put unemployed construction workers back to work."
