In the period of the European Grand Prix Formula -1 in Baku, unimpeded pedestrian movement across the territory of the race will be provided by underground and above-ground temporary transitions day and night, the organizers of the competition said.
In particular, the temporary above-ground crossings will be installed at the intersection of Azerbaijan Avenue and Istiglaliyyat Street and at the intersection of Khagani Street and Rashid Behbudov Street.
The streets, on which the race track will run, and the area as a whole, will be closed to traffic from 01:00 on June 14. Traffic in this area will be restored at 06:00 on 21 June.
