The Formula One Las Vegas Grand Prix returns next week for its fourth edition, running Nov. 19-21 on the same 3.8-mile circuit used in previous years. The course winds through public roads including Las Vegas Boulevard, Koval Lane, Harmon Avenue and Sands Avenue, with sections around the Grand Prix Plaza and Sphere.
Drivers should expect significant traffic impacts through Friday. Las Vegas Boulevard will be reduced to one lane in each direction from midnight to noon between Spring Mountain Road and Harmon. Sands Avenue will drop to one lane each way from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. between Las Vegas Boulevard and Manhattan Street.
Two pedestrian bridges will close from midnight to 9 a.m. Wednesday through Friday: the bridge between Bellagio and Horseshoe, and the bridge over Harmon at the southeast corner of the Harmon Shops. Additionally, two southbound lanes and the sidewalk in front of Bellagio remain closed for the Bellagio Fountain Club hospitality space through the end of December.
Periodic two-lane closures lasting about 30 minutes each will occur around the circuit Tuesday through Thursday for advertising placement and gantry installation. Koval Lane will close to all traffic around the clock starting at 12:01 a.m. Saturday between Rochelle Avenue and Harmon Avenue, remaining shut through race weekend.
