BOCA RATON, FL — Northbound lanes at 100 S Federal Highway were closed late Thursday after what Boca Raton Police described as a trauma incident, according to a traffic advisory sent out by the department.
The advisory, labeled non-emergency, was issued at 9:37 p.m. Thursday, June 19. It said: “TRAFFIC ADVISORY: The NB lanes at 100 S Federal Hwy are closed due to a trauma incident. Please seek an alternate route.”
The closure affects a stretch of Federal Highway in Boca Raton, a major north-south corridor that carries local traffic through the city and connects to other parts of Palm Beach County. Drivers heading north in that area were being directed to use alternate routes.
Boca Raton Police did not provide additional details in the advisory about what happened, how long the closure was expected to last, or whether any other lanes were affected.
The authority for traffic control and scene management in this case sits with the Boca Raton Police Department, which issued the advisory and is responsible for directing drivers away from the closure area.
What happens next will depend on when the incident scene is cleared and the roadway can reopen. Residents and drivers should watch for updates from Boca Raton Police and plan for detours if traveling through the area of 100 S Federal Highway while the northbound lanes remain closed.
For motorists in Boca Raton and nearby parts of Palm Beach County, the immediate takeaway is simple: northbound travel on Federal Highway at that address is shut down, and drivers should avoid the area and take an alternate route until the lanes reopen.
