Not only will the Las Vegas Strip section of the Las Vegas Grand Prix road circuit be rebuilt for the race, the entire 3.8-mile route will be rebuilt for the F1 road race set for Las Vegas in November 2023.

This is no repaving job. The rebuild of the 14-turn road circuit will involve work crews digging a foot deep and rebuilding the entire length of the route, said Steve Hill, chief executive officer and president of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA).

The route will be a counter-clockwise circuit and include other roads like Koval Lane, Sands Avenue and Harmon Avenue. There will be a 1.2-mile section on the Strip, a southbound stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard. Here’s a look at the route:

In May, the LVCVA tourism agency approved a $19.5 million deal with F1 for three years.
