Those closures will be from midnight until 9 a.m. on Las Vegas Boulevard southbound between Sands Avenue and Harmon Avenue. Harmon Avenue eastbound and westbound between Las Vegas Boulevard and Koval Lane will also experience partial lane closures. Those will be from Dec. 17 through Dec. 22 from 9 p.m. until 6 a.m.

Utility work is leading to single lane closures overnight from Dec. 10 through Dec. 14 and Dec. 17 through Dec. 21. According to race officials, that will affect the following roads:
