Plan your alternate route now!

Yamato Road in Boca Raton will close for several days at the railroad tracks west of I-95 starting Friday morning.

Workers will remove existing tracks, install new tracks, replace crossing surface, and install new RR traffic control devices, according to the city.

The road closure begins at 5 a-m Friday and is expected to reopen by 5 a-m next Wednesday.

The city of Boca Raton is adding more buses to the free shuttle service it provides to and from the nearby Tri-Rail station.

It launched an app making it easier for you to track the appropriate bus.
