Do you need to close a road, sidewalk or other area of the public right-of way for your special event or construction work?
The city requires you to get authorization to close streets, lanes, public alleys or sidewalks in the City of Orlando in order to maintain public and worker safety. Authorization is required even though you may have already received approved building and engineering permits from the city’s Permitting Services Office, or an 18A Special Event Permit.
For emergency closure requests, email closurerequest@orlando.gov and include the following information:
- Contact name, phone number, email and company name.
- Address/work location.
- Barricade company.
- Brief description of work.
- Applicable MOT standard indices being used for traffic control. If the standard index is not applicable or requires any modifications, then a plan will need to be designed and submitted for review.
Follow the steps below for all other closure requests.
