Monaco has launched an extensive road resurfacing campaign from Monday 16th February to Monday 19th March in preparation for upcoming motorsport and cycling events, including the Monaco Grand Prix and the principality’s first hosting of La Vuelta.
The Urban Planning Department is conducting the works, which are more extensive than previous years due to the addition of the international cycling race to Monaco’s usual Grand Prix preparations.
Nighttime operations to limit disruption
To minimise impact on traffic, all works will take place at night with appropriate signage in place. Temporary road closures and parking restrictions will be implemented, with specific information provided to residents.
Emergency services and police will maintain access to all areas during the works. Pedestrian routes will remain open and marked throughout the construction period.
Affected bus routes will be diverted from 8pm, with information distributed by the Compagnie des Autobus de Monaco. Users of impacted car parks can request temporary parking in neighbouring facilities.
Five-week rolling schedule
Works begin in Monaco-Ville on 16th February with Avenue de la Porte Neuve and Avenue Saint-Martin, before moving to the Marquet roundabout, Boulevard Albert Ier and Place Sainte-DĂ©vote during the week of 23rd February.
The campaign continues through early March covering the port area, Avenue des Guelfes, Quai Antoine Ier and the Portier sector. The Madone roundabout, Quai Jean-Charles Rey, Boulevard d’Italie and Place des Moulins receive attention during the week of 9th March.
Final works take place from 16th to 19th March on Boulevard Albert Ier entrance, Avenue des Citronniers and Avenue Princesse Grace.
Parking and access restrictions
Major parking facilities will face temporary closures during the works. The Visitation car park closes on nights of 16th-17th and 19th-20th February. The Stade Louis II entrance closes on 23rd-24th February, though the Marquet tunnel remains open except to heavy vehicles.
The Sainte-DĂ©vote car park closes on nights of 24th-26th February. Portier and Grimaldi Forum car parks close on nights of 25th-27th February and again 4th-6th March, with Louis II car park access maintained. The Annonciade car park closes on 12th-13th March, and MĂ©tropole car park on 17th-18th March.
Most restrictions run from 8pm to 6am, with parking prohibitions typically beginning at 4pm.
