How is a temporarily closed runway marked?

A temporarily closed runway is marked with white crosses. The purpose of these crosses is to indicate to pilots that the runway is not available for landing or takeoff. The use of white crosses provides a clear visual cue, ensuring that pilots can easily recognize that the runway should be avoided for operational purposes.

In addition to being a standard marking method, the white crosses are intended to be noticeable against the runway surface and easily identifiable from a distance, especially in situations that necessitate immediate decisions regarding landing or departures. These markings play a crucial role in maintaining safety and situational awareness at airports.
