Vehicles can once more pass President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach on South Ocean Boulevard.
The road that runs along the east side of Trump’s property between South County Road and the Southern Boulevard traffic circle reopened Sunday, Palm Beach said in an alert sent at 7:03 p.m.
The move followed Trump’s departure from Palm Beach to return to Washington, D.C., following his seventh weekend at Mar-a-Lago since his Jan. 20 inauguration. The road closed Friday morning ahead of Trump’s arrival that evening aboard Air Force One.
The president’s departure means opening times for the three drawbridges to the island will return to their usual schedules, which change when Trump is home as part of temporary security zones implemented by the U.S. Coast Guard.
The removal of the Coast Guard security zones also will allow marine traffic to flow unimpeded through the Intracoastal Waterway past Mar-a-Lago.
When Trump is home, law enforcement vessels prevent boaters from pausing near the historic estate.

The Secret Service had ordered South Ocean Boulevard next to the club to close 24 hours a day, seven days a week, effective July 20. But with a mid-August deal reached by the Secret Service, Palm Beach, the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office and Mar-a-Lago, the road reopens when Trump is away for an extended period of time, typically two or more days.
