Road crews have begun the long and intrusive work of transforming some of Las Vegas\u2019 busiest public roadways into 3.8 miles of track for the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix.<\/p>\n

The 50-lap race and its preliminary events will be held November 16-18 along portions of Las Vegas Boulevard, Harmon Avenue, Koval Lane, and Spring Mountain Road.<\/p>\n

The work began Sunday with a stretch of Sands Avenue between the Strip and the future MSG Sphere.<\/p>\n

After that\u2019s complete on Friday, April 7, the Strip will follow, with paving conducted between Sunday, April 9-19. Harmon between the Strip and Koval will be next, from May 22-26, followed by Koval from June 11-16.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The paddock site will be paved from June 19-30, while the MSG Sphere Zone is slated for August 21-25.<\/p>\n

Motorists should expect rolling lane closures with each section of new road work.<\/p>\n

A final round of track paving, with two inches of F1-approved asphalt, will occur between July 26 and September 15, according to the following schedule:<\/p>\n

At What Cost?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Formula 1 has contracted with Las Vegas Paving Corp. for a project estimated to be worth at least $74M. How much public money will go toward that total is currently being discussed.<\/p>\n

In February, despite not knowing the amount, Clark County, which governs the Las Vegas Strip, signed a 10-year contract<\/a> with the Las Vegas Grand Prix.<\/p>\n

At the end of the day, the amount of money we get back is far surpassed by the tourism benefit,\u201d Clark County Commissioner Tick Segerblom told KSNV-TV\/Las Vegas <\/em>recently, adding that the expense \u201cwill literally pay for itself the day the race is over.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) claims the race will inject more than $1B of economic stimulation into the local economy. And 88 cents on every $100 spent on hotel rooms will reportedly go to pay off Clark County\u2019s remaining debt for building Allegiant Stadium. The County issued $750M in municipal bonds for the $1.9B project, the rest of which was covered by the Raiders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
