Temporary Road Closures

If you require the short-term use of a municipal road and/or sidewalk you will need to obtain a temporary road closure permit from the Town. Permits are issued by the Public Works Department in accordance with Town By-law No. 2025-0032. 

As per Council policy, there is no application fee or barricade rental cost for temporary road closures associated with a Local Not-for-Profit Event. Applicant organizations will still be responsible for costs associated with: 

• Staffing to supervise the road closure and road safety plan; 

• Liability insurance; and 

• Providing notice to businesses and residents within the closure area.  

Temporary Road Closure Applications can be completed through this form.

Road closures that are part of a community event, such as a race, parade, or festival, will also be required to submit a Community Event Application. 

Temporary road closures associated with construction or other commercial policies will also require a Municipal Easement Work Permit from the Public Works Department.  

Temporary road closures that involve a County road will also require approval from the County of Lennox and Addington. If your requested road closure includes a County road, Town staff will forward your application and contact information on to County staff.
