Can you build track to block an opponent's link, or lay track past a city to block its entrance?

Yes. You may build in the way of an opponent's incomplete link as long as you do not connect to it; they can cross your track, redirect their last tile for the terrain cost again, or abandon it. Track laid past a city without linking to it is legal and does not truly close the entrance, since a crossover can still reach it. Only a completed link permanently uses up that entrance.
