Temporary Road Closure Permits

A Temporary Road Closure Permit is required any time you plan to use or obstruct a public roadway for special events or any other activities that will cause disruption. 

More information about event planning can be found on Event Planning.

Events requiring a road closure will require a Temporary Road Closure Permit. We need enough time to review the request, coordinate detour services with emergency services and request advance warning signage. Further restrictions and requirements may be imposed by MTO or the County of Lennox & Addington if any of their roads are impacted by the event, particularly if affected roads are expected to carry unusual traffic volumes. Once approved, no changes can be made without consulting Municipal staff.

Closing a road for an event is complex and the process involves many staff approvals with public safety always a priority. The Township has an obligation to ensure that the rest of the public can safely keep moving or operating while various events are taking place.
