The Monaco E-Prix takes place on Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th May, and with the circuit taking over large sections of the Principality, residents and visitors should plan their movements carefully.
From 5am on both race days, vehicles and pedestrians will be excluded from all streets forming the circuit, including the Quai des États-Unis, Boulevard Albert Ier, Place du Casino, Avenue des Spélugues, Avenue Princesse Grace and Boulevard Louis II, among others. Ticket holders and those with an Automobile Club de Monaco pass may still access the circuit perimeter on foot. Residents of buildings immediately adjacent to the circuit may access their homes on presentation of identity documents; those working nearby may do so with their work permit.
Several additional streets will be closed to cars only, including the Quai Albert Ier, Quai Antoine Ier and the Tunnel Rocher Albert Ier. One-way directions will be reversed on a number of streets including Rue Princesse Florestine, Rue Suffren Reymond and Rue Saige, while a two-way system will be introduced on Rue Grimaldi between Rue Suffren Reymond and Place d’Armes.
From Friday 15th May, further closures come into effect, including the Tunnel Sainte-Dévote, the Tunnel Débarcadère and the Bretelle Auréglia.
Parking
Parking restrictions begin as early as Wednesday 13th May in some areas, with the most extensive bans — covering Boulevard Albert Ier, Place du Casino, Avenue des Spélugues, Rue Grimaldi, Boulevard Louis II and many surrounding streets — taking effect from Friday 15th May at 11pm and remaining in force until the end of racing on Sunday.
Electric charging points
Several Monaco ON electric charging points will be deactivated during the event period, including those on Avenue des Ligures from 9th May, and those on Rue Grimaldi, Rue Louis Notari, Rue Florestine, Avenue de la Quarantaine and Quai des États-Unis from 15th May.
Free buses
As part of its event mobility plan, the Princely Government has again made the full CAM bus network free of charge on both race days — not only on lines serving the E-Prix sites but across the entire network. Services will be both rerouted and reinforced. Full details are available at the CAM website.
