From now until Sunday, Feb. 3, all forms of travel, including pedestrian travel, will be prohibited on S. Ocean Blvd from S. County Road to Southern Boulevard. The travel restrictions will also extend eastward to the ocean.
The President was supposed to travel to Mar-a-Lago for Christmas and New Year's, but had to cancel because of the partial government shutdown.
However, First Lady Melania Trump recently visited South Florida without the President in January and December.
On Thursday, President Trump told reporters at the White House he won't accept a deal to keep the government open without funding for a border wall.
