temporary closures

Short-term service suspensions

Temporary closures are shutdowns of businesses, roads, facilities, or services intended to last for a limited time.

The phrase appears on signs and announcements explaining why something normally accessible is currently unavailable: Temporary closures are in effect due to construction.

Unlike permanent closures, the implication is that normal operations will resume.
