You can image the conversation (if any). Media chap doing stoppage notice 'How long is this stoppage for?' BW type in local office who has picked up phone, 'I don't know'. Media chap 'I'll put closed until further notice then'.

To my mind that phrase means that whatever it is will be closed for an extended period of unpredictable duration - for example the breach on the Stourbridge Canal. Using it for stoppages such as 8am There is a tree down across the cut - closed until further notice 12am Contractors have now removed the tree and the navigation is open rather devalues the phrase.
