A NUMBER of closures and restrictions will be in place during Experian Cycle Live and the Great Notts Bike Ride.
Victoria Embankment and Wilford Grove will be closed to traffic from 7am today until 11pm on Sunday to allow for the festivities.
Other roads will also be closed to allow for the Nottingham Grand Prix street racing to take place tonight.
Bunbury Street will be shut south of Woodward Street, while Wilford Crescent East south from Woodward Street, Fraser Road south of Bunbury Street, and Green Street, Hunter Street and Felton Road will also be closed except for emergency access between 5.30pm and 10pm.
Chris Simon, event director of Experian Cycle Live Nottingham, said: "This year we have pushed the start time of the Nottingham Grand Prix back to 6pm to give residents more time to get home before the closures.
"The event itself has a great line-up of racing. We hope residents will come along to enjoy the evening and show their support for the riders."
Cycleways around the Victoria Embankment are also expected to be busier than normal tomorrow, when around 1,000 people take part in the Experian Nottingham City Ride.
Over 4,000 cyclists are also expected to set off from the Victoria Embankment for the 32nd Great Notts Bike Ride on Sunday.
As a result, the following additional traffic management provisions will be in place:
Coned lane on Trent Bridge northbound from 10am to 6pm.
Temporary traffic signals on Bradmore Lane, between Bradmore and Plumtree.
Additional signage and stewarding plans at various locations along the route.
All routes on the Great Notts Bike Ride are signed and will have stewards, but event organisers ask that drivers remain particularly mindful of cyclists on the roads.
Mr Simon said: "Our aim is to deliver a great event without causing too much disruption to local residents. We would encourage people to allow extra time for their journey over the weekend, especially on Sunday."
Ruddington Lane in Wilford will also remain closed to riders.
Route maps show riders having to go along the road, but it has been shut near the Nottingham South and Wilford Industrial Estate since last October due to work to construct the new tram line to Clifton. It is scheduled to reopen in July.
Organisers say instead of riding along Ruddington Lane, cyclists will be diverted via Compton Acres.
