Formula One Las Vegas Grand Prix circuit setup is underway near the resort corridor as crews ready the area for November’s race weekend.

Work began this week with the start of track lighting installation on Harmon Avenue between Las Vegas Boulevard and Koval Lane. The first round of track lighting work on Harmon will last through Sept. 19, with all lanes open to traffic during the day, going down to one lane in each direction between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. Sunday-Friday. The stretch of Harmon will see another round of lighting installation Oct. 6-10, according to the race’s transportation website.

Over the next several weeks, crews will carry out similar track lighting and barrier installation, as well as set up fan areas and temporary bridges around the 3.8-mile circuit. The track mainly involves public roads including Las Vegas Boulevard, Koval Lane and Harmon and Sands avenues, where race activity will occur on Nov. 20-22.

Most race set up work will occur in the overnight hours to limit traffic impacts, outside of when the Flamingo Road vehicular bridge over Koval is set up Oct. 12-17, which will require a full shutdown of the intersection.

There are also the scheduled 24/7 lane restrictions on Las Vegas Boulevard southbound in front of the Bellagio, as crews build out a high-end spectator zone over the property’s popular fountain attraction. The closure of two Strip lanes and the sidewalk in front of the Fountains at Bellagio is scheduled to begin Monday and last through December when race infrastructure is dismantled.
