(BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — Twenty-five. That’s how many lane closures, detours and full shutdowns stand between you and wherever you’re going this week, from U.S. 1 in Boca Raton to the cane fields along U.S. 27. Palm Beach County once again didn’t update its road and bridge list, so all 25 come courtesy of FDOT: 17 major construction projects plus 8 maintenance, utility and permit jobs. The headliner: Military Trail is closed outright between 10th Avenue North and Cresthaven Boulevard until further notice due to last week’s plane crash. Major FDOT Highway Projects Interstate 95 I-95 is still a nightly obstacle course around Boynton Beach Boulevard, and Northlake Boulevard joins the list Friday. Veterans Day gives Boynton drivers a one-day break.

The Miami attorney sent 435 text messages - after the restraining order

A North Miami Beach lawyer claims her psychological state after going through a hysterectomy clouded her ability to fully understand the injunction against stalking to which she agreed. An Orange County Sheriff’s Office arrest report says Ginna Arevalo understood it well enough to not send the other party 435 text messages, including one that said “Just bc I am a dangerous person who wants to harm you, your daughter, and your employees.” An Orange County jury concurred, convicting Arevalo of aggravated stalking after injunction. With that July verdict, the state Supreme Court hit Arevalo in October with a suspension from the Florida Bar. That’ll be in effect until the professional discipline case is heard by case referee Judge Ariana Fajardo Orshan. Meanwhile, Arevalo’s appealed her conviction while beginning to serve her probation that’s scheduled to run until Jan. 13, 2031. Arevalo’s been a member of the Bar since 2017 with a previously clean discipline record.

King tides, rain are flooding South Florida. What are we doing about it?

Historic, chart-topping king tides submerged South Florida last week, flooding more places deeper and longer than they’d ever seen before. This week, double-digit rainfall filled in the blanks, swamping inland and coastal areas. South Florida is soggy, and all the science says its only going to get worse. That’s bad news for anyone who lives in, works in, owns property in, visits or even passes through South Florida. So, millions of people. But In response, local governments have poured hundreds of millions into solutions over the last few years. Keeping dry for the next decade alone would take billions more — if not tens of billions. They’re elevating roads, buffing up stormwater pumps and replacing drainage pipes with new ones so big an NBA player could walk upright in them. They’re converting golf courses into part-time flood parks to soak up neighborhood drainage. They’re raising seawalls. And the projects appear to be working. Tiffany Troxler, director of science at Florida International University’s Sea Level Solutions Center, said she’s seen projects in Miami neighborhoods that have drastically cut down on flooding. “That’s a really positive sign. We need more of that,” she said. “Without more adaptation projects, we’ll continue to see
