I had the same problem on my previous layout (current one has "live" frogs... 
). The picture shows how I solved this. I joined the two closure rails with a little copper tab, and then routed a small wire from the tab to the rivet at the frog. I cut out the ties to pass the wire so it wouldn't intefere with proper seating of the turnout. The fix was bareIy visible from the top side. Of course, I had to remove the turnouts to do this operation, but it was worth it...!!
