The countdown is on until the roar of engines hits the Gold Coast, with work now underway to transform local roads ahead of next month’s Gold Coast 500.
Crews have this week begun the task of building the 2.96km street circuit.
Concrete barriers and fencing have already been installed along parts of the Gold Coast Highway, which will become the main straight for the event.
Workers will spend the next 37 days installing more than 8 km of barriers and fencing, while temporary stands have also started popping up along Main Beach Parade.
The pit garages, remaining grandstands and corporate facilities will follow over the coming weeks.
Motorists and local residents are being warned of road and lane closures around the track precinct over the coming weeks.
More than 200,000 fans are expected to turn out for this year’s GC500, which continues to be a crucial event on the city’s events calendar.
The GC500 will take place from October 23-25.
Information about the track build and impacts to locals can be found on the Supercars website.
