block off

to close, to cover, to obstruct

  • The air was blocked off, extinguishing the fire.
  • Main Street was blocked off all morning for the parade.
  • It's a pity that they've blocked off the main street because of a burst water main.
  • Scores of heavily armed soldiers tightened their grip on the capital. They are blocking streets and cordoning off government buildings as well as the airport.
