Ahead of the Monaco E-Prix and Formula 1 TAG Heuer Monaco Grand Prix, both set for May, work on the spectator grandstands in Port Hercule has begun.

With two major motorsport events coming to the Principality in spring—Rounds 6 and 7 of the 2024/25 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship on 8th and 9th May, followed by the 82nd Monaco Grand Prix from 22nd to 25th May—Monaco has begun the extensive preparations needed to host these prestigious races.

Alongside the road resurfacing project, which began on 26th February at Darse Sud and the iconic Virage Noghès, construction of the vast grandstands lining the Port Hercule sectors of the famous circuit started on 3rd March. Work will then shift to the grandstands in Monte-Carlo towards the end of the month, from 25th March.

Teams in these areas will also assemble structures for the numerous media outlets covering the events, as well as safety infrastructure and advertising spaces.

Traffic diversions, parking restrictions, temporary one-way systems and rerouted pedestrian pathways should be expected during the works.

Following the Monaco Grand Prix, dismantling of the grandstands will begin almost immediately, with completion set for 22nd June.
