The last 2023 F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix temporary structure has been fully removed, but business owners are concerned with new construction that’s set to last months.
“I get like 6 weeks, if I’m lucky, of normal business,” said Jay’s Market Owner Wade Bohn.
Jay’s Market is on the corner of Koval lane and Flamingo Road.
Along with nearby businesses, Bohn says they’ve lost millions in profits after F1 paving construction started last April and the temporary vehicle bridge went up last October. Business owners claim the bridge denied customer’s access to businesses off of Koval Lane.

Bohn says the Las Vegas Valley Water District delivered a notice Wednesday morning about a water main leak. It reads in part, “Work will consist of replacing approximately 2,800 feet of existing 24- and 10 inch pipelines with 2,800 feet of new 16-inch pipeline.”
According to the notice, the water district says construction will happen on Flamingo Road between Koval Lane and Las Vegas Boulevard from late March or early April until the Fall, before the next F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix.
