I am able to do the URL rewriting of my MVC Application by using a Route.Config file as below:

    //Offline Consult Route
    routes.MapRoute(
        name: "WrittenStep2",
        url: "written/step2/{id}",
        defaults: new { controller = "Offline", action = "Step2", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
        );

    routes.MapRoute(
        name: "Written",
        url: "written",
        defaults: new { controller = "Offline", action = "Index" }
        );

In the above code, I have Controller as "Offline" and have some actions.

I am able to change the route:

TO: www.abc.com/written

FROM www.abc.com/Offline

My problem is that I am still able to access the URL: www.abc.com/Offline. How can I resolve this issue?

I have tried to deny access of this URL to the users by using the Begin_Request method of Global.asax file.

But after doing that I won't be able to access my methods which I am calling using jQuery Ajax.

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "/Offline/HelloWorld",
    data: jsonString,
    contentType: "application/json",
    ...

Is there any way to restrict users from using the same URL?

Try this, it might be helpful for you ... for the given example, if you want to restrict or navigate users for a specific URL, you can try:

1- include a route for Offline with custom route handler

            routes.MapRoute(
              "OfflineWithoutParameterRoute",
              "Offline"
             ).RouteHandler = new NewUrlRouteHandler();

        routes.MapRoute(
            name: "WrittenStep2",
            url: "written/step2/{id}",
            defaults: new { controller = "Offline", action = "Step2", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
            );

        routes.MapRoute(
            name: "Written",
            url: "written",
            defaults: new { controller = "Offline", action = "Index" }
            );

        routes.MapRoute(
            name: "Default",
            url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
            defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
        );

2- Create your MvcRouteHandler as

    public class NewUrlRouteHandler : System.Web.Mvc.MvcRouteHandler
{
    protected override IHttpHandler GetHttpHandler(System.Web.Routing.RequestContext requestContext)
    {
        //restrict or navigate to any destination
        requestContext.RouteData.Values["controller"] = "Home";
        requestContext.RouteData.Values["action"] = "index";

        return base.GetHttpHandler(requestContext);
    }
}

which you can maintain any approach

so any hit for www.abc.com/Offline will hit to custom handler and any route for www.abc.com/Offline/prm will follow the default route.

I have tried with controller/action you given as an example and it should be helpful for you.

    public class OfflineController : Controller
{
    // GET: Offline
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        return View();
    }

    public ActionResult Step2(int id)
    {

        return View();
    }
    public ActionResult HelloWorld(int id)
    {

        return View();
    }
}
