BOCA RATON, FL (Boca Post) (Copyright © 2026) — Boca Raton Police issued a traffic advisory Tuesday afternoon reporting lane closures at the intersection of Yamato Road and Military Trail because of an accident.
The advisory said the northbound, southbound and eastbound lanes in the intersection are closed. Drivers were told to avoid the area and use an alternate route.
The alert was sent at 1:54:49 p.m. EDT on March 25, 2026, through a Boca Raton Police non-emergency traffic advisory.
The intersection of Yamato and Military is a major connector for Boca Raton and the surrounding area, and closures there can quickly affect traffic flow for drivers moving between neighborhoods, business areas and nearby highways.
Boca Raton Police did not provide additional details in the advisory about the accident, including whether anyone was injured, how long the closures are expected to last, or what lanes may reopen first.
For residents and commuters, the immediate takeaway is that the intersection is not fully passable in the directions listed in the advisory. Drivers heading through the area should plan extra time, follow posted detours if they are set up, and watch for updates from Boca Raton Police as conditions change.
Authority for the advisory and the traffic direction at the scene sits with the Boca Raton Police Department, which issued the notice and is directing drivers to avoid the intersection.
What happens next will depend on when the accident scene is cleared and the intersection can safely reopen. Boca Raton Police typically updates traffic advisories as lanes reopen or conditions change; residents should monitor official Boca Raton Police alerts for the latest information.
This is a developing traffic situation, and drivers in Boca Raton and Palm Beach County who routinely use Yamato Road or Military Trail should be prepared to reroute until the closure is lifted.
