As Monaco gears up for one of the busiest periods on its sporting calendar, large-scale road adjustments are already underway to prepare the city for three major motorsport events: the 15th Monaco Historic Grand Prix from April 24 to 26, the 10th and 11th Monaco E-Prix on May 16 and 17, and the 83rd Formula 1 Louis Vuitton Grand Prix de Monaco from June 4 to 7.
Transforming the Principality into a world-famous street circuit requires months of installation work, meaning residents and visitors will see significant changes to traffic and parking from late February through mid-July.
One of the first major impacts concerns Quai Albert Ier, which will remain closed to traffic from February 23 until July 17. The Route de la Piscine will operate as a one-way road from February 23 to July 5, with several full closures scheduled around race weekends. Similar temporary shutdowns will affect Avenue J.F. Kennedy, Boulevard Louis II, Quai des États-Unis, Quai Antoine Ier and the Tunnel Rocher Antoine Ier, particularly during installation phases and race days.
During certain periods in April, May and June, sections of Avenue J.F. Kennedy and Quai des États-Unis will switch to one-way systems, while at other times they will be completely inaccessible. Boulevard Louis II will also face closures near the Portier junction on selected evenings around the events. In addition, the Tunnel Rocher Antoine Ier will be closed from mid-April until late June as part of the circuit preparation.
Parking restrictions are equally extensive. From February 23 onwards, vehicles will no longer be allowed to park in several key areas including the Darse Sud, Route de la Piscine, Quai Albert Ier and Appontement Jules Soccal. As the weeks progress, restrictions will extend to Avenue des Spélugues, Boulevard Louis II, Avenue J.F. Kennedy, Avenue d’Ostende, Avenue de Monte-Carlo, Boulevard Albert Ier, Quai Antoine Ier, Quai des États-Unis and the Esplanade des Pêcheurs. These measures will remain in place for varying durations depending on the installation schedule.
Authorities have confirmed that normal traffic conditions will gradually return once each event concludes and the dismantling of infrastructure is completed, a process expected to continue until July 17.
With Monaco preparing to host historic racing, electric single-seaters and Formula 1’s global spectacle within just a few weeks of each other, the Principality is once again entering its iconic Grand Prix season — a logistical transformation as impressive as the racing itself.
