    ROAD CLOSING: South Ocean Boulevard to close again. Here's what you should know

    Starting Aug. 26, South Ocean Boulevard will be closed between South County Road and Southern Boulevard until further notice.

    Many drivers are frustrated about the street closures and say it feels like they are back in square one.

    “I do live off of southern. There’s been a lot of police presence and a lot of lines that back up in the morning of people trying to make it across the bridge," stated resident Nicole Jarrot.

    When South Ocean Boulevard first closed in July for extra security measures around Mar-a-Lago , the plan was for the closures to be in place until at least Nov. 5.

    In response to locals expressing frustrations with how the road closures affect traffic, the Town of Palm Beach Council came to an agreement with the Secret Service to conduct road closures only when former President Donald Trump is at Mar-a-Lago.

    Drivers want details about when this will end. "I would want more information," shared Jarrot. "One day you see the barriers come up and come down, so I don’t know how that’s being more widely distributed to the residents.”
