LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — It was announced Tuesday morning at the Las Vegas Convention and Visitor’s Authority board meeting that repaving of the roads to be used for the November F1 race will start at the beginning of April.
According to F1 Las Vegas, the resurfacing of the roads will be divided into six parts. 8 News Now learned only one lane will be closed at a time for repaving, and medians will be removed along Koval Lane, Harmon and Sands avenues.
The first will be Sands between the MSG Sphere and the Las Vegas Strip. It will be repaved from April 2 through April 7.
Repaving then moves on to the Las Vegas Strip between Sands and Harmon. This will take place from May 9 through May 19.
Repaving continues from May 22 to May 26 along Harmon from the Strip to Koval.
Next up will be the straight on Koval from the paddock area to the corner that turns east toward the MSG Sphere. This is scheduled to take place from June 11 through June 16.
Repaving then begins in the paddock area, which is also the start/finish area. This is not on a public street so it should have minimal impact on traffic. It will happen from June 19 to June 30.
Finally, the last area to be repaved will be the turns around the MSG Sphere. It will be paved from Aug. 21 to Aug. 25.
F1 Las Vegas also said in the board meeting it hopes the construction of the paddock area should be complete by the end of September.
