The stretch of course shuts to traffic at 9.30am for preparation work ahead of the first practice session on Saturday evening. The road will open again at 4.30pm tomorrow when it will be one-way for the duration of the two-week event.

The mountain will close to traffic again on Monday June 15 between 9.30am and 4.30pm and when it re-opens it will back to two-way traffic.
