A method, a system, and a computer program product are provided for predicting road closure in a region. The method comprises obtaining, probe data, such as sensor data, and map data, for the region. The method may include detecting a change in speed of a one or more vehicle on a road, based on the obtained probe data and the obtained map data for the region, wherein the change in speed is associated with a slowdown event associated with the one or more vehicles. The method may include identifying a vehicle event on the road based on the detected change in speed of the one or more vehicles, wherein the vehicle event is associated with a location corresponding to a matching trajectory of the one or more vehicles and predicting the road closure based on the identified vehicle event.
