Track construction for the Las Vegas Grand Prix will begin Monday night with work on a pedestrian bridge on Koval Lane, officials said today.

Lane reductions are expected 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. Monday to Sept. 8 at Koval Lane and Rochelle Avenue for the bridge construction.

Track lighting installation will also cause single-lane reductions on Harmon Avenue from Las Vegas Boulevard to Koval Lane with one lane open in each direction.

Those interested in traffic updates related to this year’s race can sign up for the weekly SMS text system established last year by the Las Vegas Grand Prix team and Clark County. Updates will begin in the next week and are sent out every Sunday and Wednesday. People can opt-in by texting “F1LV” to 31996. English and Spanish options are available.

The Las Vegas Grand Prix also launched an interactive road map to communicate traffic updates for the 3.8-mile circuit and surrounding areas, including Las Vegas Boulevard, Koval Lane and Harmon Avenue.
