Applying for a temporary road closure

Applications must be received at least two weeks prior to the proposed date of the closure (two months notice is required in the case of a special event). Depending on the scope of the closure, a development permit, damage deposit or proof of insurance may be required. The closure may also be advertised on City of Cold Lake social media channels and in the local newspaper. All road closure notices must be approved by Cold Lake Fire-Rescue to ensure optimum emergency response times can be maintained during the closure.
