Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) - The Las Vegas Grand Prix is well in our rear-view mirror, but drivers just east of the Strip will be experiencing a major headache related to the race all this week.

Until Friday night at 9, the intersection of Flamingo and Koval will be closed so crews can tear down a temporary bridge that was put up for the race.

Other restrictions related to the race include Koval Lane going down to one lane in each direction from just south of Flamingo to just north of Sands in the overnight hours all week, while two right lanes continue to be blocked on the southbound side of Las Vegas Boulevard, as the Club Bellagio viewing area comes down. The sidewalk in front of the Bellagio is also closed.

All the work is scheduled to be finished by December 26th.
