Three major motorsport events are coming to Monaco this spring and early summer, and the circuit installations that make them possible will affect roads and parking across the Principality from now until mid-July.
The 15th Monaco Historic Grand Prix runs from 24th to 26th April, the Monaco E-Prix takes place on 16th and 17th May, and the Formula 1 Grand Prix de Monaco follows from 4th to 7th June. Work to install and dismantle the circuit infrastructure will cause a series of road closures and parking restrictions that residents and visitors should plan around well in advance.
Road closures and one-way restrictions
Several key routes will be affected from as early as now. The Quai Albert Ier is closed to traffic from 23rd February until 17th July — the longest single restriction of the entire period. The Route de la Piscine will operate as a one-way street from 23rd February to 5th July, with full closures during race weekends. The Quai des États-Unis will also run one-way between the Route de la Piscine and Avenue J.F. Kennedy from 23rd February to 5th July, with adjustments to the affected stretch from 6th April to 21st June.
Avenue J.F. Kennedy will operate under one-way restrictions between the Sainte-Dévote roundabout and the Quai des États-Unis intersection between 9.30am and 4pm on specific weeks in April, May and June, with full closures during each of the three race weekends. The Tunnel Rocher Antoine Ier will be closed entirely from 13th April to 21st June.
Boulevard Louis II will be closed from the Portier junction on the evenings preceding each race weekend, while Quai Antoine Ier will run one-way along the building side between the Route de la Piscine intersection and number 14 from 13th April to 21st June.
Parking restrictions
Parking restrictions across the Principality begin in stages from late February and build through March and April as installations progress. Among the earliest to be affected are the Quai Albert Ier and Route de la Piscine, where parking is prohibited from 23rd February. The Quai Chicane follows from 16th March, with Boulevard Louis II, Avenue J.F. Kennedy and Avenue d’Ostende losing parking from mid to late March.
Further restrictions come into force through April on Boulevard Albert Ier, Avenue de Monte-Carlo, Quai Antoine Ier and the Quai des États-Unis. The Esplanade des Pêcheurs will be off-limits for parking from 13th April to 14th June.
When will things return to normal?
Dismantling of the circuit installations will be carried out progressively after the Formula 1 Grand Prix, with a full return to normal traffic and parking conditions expected by 17th July.
Residents are advised to check individual street restrictions carefully, as dates and conditions vary significantly by location.
