National Highways has alerted motorists to significant road disruptions this weekend as the annual Bike4Life event takes place. The event, which raises funds for Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, will see thousands of motorcyclists riding from Meole Brace in Shrewsbury to the RAF Museum in Cosford.
Road Closures and Delays
The A5, A49, and M54 are expected to experience heavy traffic and temporary closures. National Highways advises drivers to plan alternative routes and allow extra travel time. The event is scheduled for Sunday, with the main ride starting at 10:00 AM.
Impact on Local Routes
Key junctions and roundabouts near Shrewsbury and Telford will be affected. Police will be managing traffic flow, but delays are inevitable. Organizers recommend that non-participants avoid the area if possible.
This charity ride is a major fundraising event, with participants encouraged to collect sponsors. Last year, the event raised over £100,000 for the air ambulance service, which provides critical emergency medical support across the region.
National Highways has set up a dedicated webpage with live updates and diversion information. Motorists are urged to check before traveling and to drive safely around the large group of cyclists.
