National Highways has confirmed that the closures will take place between 10am and 1.30pm, on July 20.

Under the closures the eastbound carriageway of the A5 will be shut at Shrewsbury, from the Dobbies Roundabout to the Preston Roundabout.

The eastbound M54 will then be shut from the Preston Roundabout to Junction 3 of the M54.

More than 6,00 bikers normally take part in the event, with a star-studded line-up confirmed for the fundraiser.

The roster includes the return of World Superbike legend Carl Fogarty and former professional motorcycle and truck racer Steve Parrish.

This year is also set to feature Happy Mondays star and 90s legend, Mark 'Bez' Berry.
