I remember Michael Mann talking in some interview about in "Heat", where they shut down downtown L.A. for that shoot out/bank scenes. He said, that they had a specific time window on Sunday mornings/weekend to complete that whole shoot out sequence and they had to do it over a period of month(s).
My guess is they do something similar most of the time. I doubt they can shut down a major artery of a city for a weeks/months at a time, regardless of what they pay in permits. You have a lot of local businesses caught in the middle of any road closings.
