What Is a Road Closure Permit in Dubai?

A road closure permit is the RTA’s formal approval to temporarily close all or part of a public road. It specifies the closure location, duration, working hours, diversion route, and all safety equipment that must be in place before the road is closed. The permit is issued only after the RTA has reviewed and approved the full traffic management plan, including diversion drawings and equipment schedule.

When Is a Road Closure Permit Required?

• Full carriageway closure for road resurfacing or reconstruction
• Bridge works requiring complete road closure
• Large utility installations crossing or running along the full road width
• Event road closures for marathons, cycling events, and public gatherings
• Emergency utility repairs requiring immediate road closure
• Demolition works adjacent to public roads requiring temporary closure for safety

What the Road Closure Permit Application Requires

• Full traffic diversion plan with approved alternative routing
• Advance signage plan showing placement locations and distances
• Barrier and closure point layout drawings
