Donald Trump won the presidency. What does that mean for the road closure near Mar-a-Lago?

Donald Trump woke up in Palm Beach on Wednesday as the president-elect of the United States.

His neighbors woke up in a world of uncertainty: What happens next to the wealth-packed small town, which has essentially been cut in half by a closed road next to Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club?

As of now, according to Town Manager Kirk Blouin, the same strict road closures called for by the Secret Service and prompted by the July 13 attempted assassination of Trump at a Pennsylvania campaign rally remain in effect.

The town of Palm Beach is a vertical barrier island just over 10 miles long with only one north-south road, South Ocean Boulevard, near Mar-a-Lago. So when part of South Ocean Boulevard closes, it upsets many people on the island because it makes it almost impossible to get around.

When that road closure was first announced, it was to be around the clock every day, even when Trump was not home.

The town challenged the agency's authority to keep the road closed when Trump is not home for extended periods of time, Blouin said. In August, the town, Mar-a-Lago, Secret Service and Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office announced a deal to reopen South Ocean Boulevard when Trump is not home. While officials have not specified how long is long enough for the barricades to be removed, it seems that Trump must be gone for longer than two days.

Residents and people visiting, making deliveries or working in the area within the checkpoints can enter and exit only through the north end of the closure.

If Trump had lost the election, there was an assumption that the barricades could be removed "because the threats would diminish," Blouin said.

With his win, the extent of the road closures will depend on how frequently Trump visits Palm Beach, Blouin said.

"People are understandably upset," he said. "Whether you're a resident, business owner, employee in some fashion or visitors to the town, there's a high probability you're gonna get stuck in traffic, particularly in the morning and evening rush hours."

Blouin said the Secret Service had not told the town that the road closure would change.

Blouin said the issue could come up as part of public comment from residents at next week's Town Council meeting.

"They're frustrated," Blouin said of the scores of residents who have reached out with concerns about the road closure.
