With the Formula 1 Heineken Las Vegas Grand Prix about two months away, overnight road work for the circuit is ramping up on and around Las Vegas Boulevard. The race is scheduled for Nov. 19-21, and a recent extension will keep the event in Las Vegas through 2037.
Starting Sept. 28 through Oct. 16, crews will reduce lanes overnight from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m., Sunday through Friday, on Sands Avenue between Las Vegas Boulevard and Manhattan Street, keeping one lane open each way. Additional around-the-clock lane closures will affect Sands Avenue at Koval Lane and near the Palazzo Garage. A full overnight closure on Harmon Avenue at Audrie Street runs Sept. 28 through Oct. 2, with left turns restricted during daytime hours.
From Oct. 4 through Oct. 9, Audrie Street north of Harmon will close overnight. Beginning Oct. 5 through Oct. 30, Las Vegas Boulevard from Sands to Harmon will see overnight lane reductions from midnight to 9 a.m., with various left-turn lanes impacted. A full 24-hour closure on Koval Lane and Flamingo Road takes effect 9 p.m. Oct. 11 through 9 p.m. Oct. 16 for installation of the Flamingo Vehicular and Pedestrian bridges; businesses will remain accessible.
Two southbound lanes on Las Vegas Boulevard from Flamingo Road to Bellagio Drive will stay closed through Nov. 9 for the Bellagio Fountain Club installation, though the hotel entrance and exit will remain open. The sidewalk in that area will also be closed until Nov. 9.
RTC transit routes will see detours and stop closures throughout the construction period. Route 119 stops between Krueger Street and Rochelle Avenue will close nightly Sept. 28 through Oct. 2, with specific stops affected 24/7 or nightly through Oct. 16. Southbound Deuce stops on Las Vegas Boulevard will close nightly from midnight to 9 a.m., Monday through Friday, Oct. 5 through Oct. 30.
