    Here's when the Mar-a-Lago road closures start

    The Town of Palm Beach announced that there will be no through traffic allowed near Mar-a-Lago starting Saturday, July 20.

    And that will extend until at least Nov. 5, Election Day, "at a minimum," according to the Town of Palm Beach.

    The closure will affect the intersection of South County Road and South Ocean Boulevard to the traffic circle where Southern Boulevard and South Ocean Boulevard connect.

    This wasn't a decision made by town officials, but by the U.S. Secret Service, due to the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump last weekend. There have also been ongoing threats .

    The closure had previously been set for 4 p.m. Saturday, but was changed to 5 a.m. Saturday.

    As WPTV's Matt Sczesny reports, Palm Beach District Schools buses were lined where Trump parks his plane at PBIA Friday, a sign of the ramped-up security measures.

    "We learned on Saturday that whatever it was we were doing did not work. My hope and prayer is that the Secret Service gets it right," retired agent Tim Miller told WPTV.
