This Sunday 19 March, Port Hercule will play host to the Monaco Cycling Criterium. The event will begin at 9 am for the youngest competitors, who will be followed by their older peers in turn until the final, ultimate race for the Elite category at 3.30 pm.

In addition to the village to be set up on Quai Albert I, the event will make use of Route de la Piscine, Avenue J.F. Kennedy and Boulevard Albert I. This will impact:

• Road traffic: the route will be closed to traffic heading towards Avenue J.F. Kennedy from around 6.30 am to 6.30 pm. Please check Waze for more details in real time (and add the function to your Your Monaco dashboard – see this special tutorial).

• Buses: also from 6.30 am to 6.30 pm, the CAM number 1 bus service will be diverted via Avenue d’Ostende, and there will be no service from the Kennedy, Rainier III Auditorium, Portier, Spélugues, Citronniers or Place du Casino stops.

Similarly, passengers using the Zou! 607 and 80 services travelling from Monaco to Menton and at the Princesse Antoinette stop will be picked up and dropped off on the Boulevard Albert I service road.

• Access to the Louis Chiron car park: this will be open from 9.50 am to 9.55 am, 11 am to 11.10 am, 12.30 pm to 1.50 pm and 3.15 pm to 3.20 pm. Season ticket holders will be able to park elsewhere.

Access to the Quai Antoine I car park will not be restricted.

• Yacht owners: it will only be possible to access the reserved Quai des États-Unis car park from the Chicane side (access badges will be checked by Criterium marshals).
