Roads around the circuit will be closed between 09:30 and 12:00 BST and again from 13:30 to 16:45.
Organisers also have the use of a contingency session between 18:00 and 20:30 if needed to complete the race programme.
The conclusion of the event will see both the solo and sidecar champions for 2025 crowned.
Racing at the event got off to a delayed start after rain showers hit the south of the island on Tuesday evening.
That led to the two opening Senior Race events being postponed, while the Lightweight race began but had to be red-flagged on lap two because of the deteriorating conditions.
