Kepax Bridge in Worcester is marking its first anniversary, having quickly become one of the city’s most popular walking, wheeling and cycling routes.
Since opening on 5 December 2024, the bridge has strengthened sustainable travel across Worcester by providing a safe, scenic and accessible link between Gheluvelt Park and St John’s.
In its first year alone, more than 330,000 crossings have been recorded, clear evidence of strong public enthusiasm for active travel.
Kepax Bridge’s success has also been recognised nationally. It recently scooped an award at the Structural Steel Design Awards, celebrating the bridge’s outstanding engineering and architectural quality. Earlier this year, it was named Project of the Year 2025 (over £3 million) at the CECA Midlands Awards, which highlight excellence in civil engineering and the teams delivering exceptional work.
Developed as part of a wider programme to enhance Worcester’s walking, wheeling and cycling network, Kepax Bridge complements the popular Sabrina and Diglis bridges.
Together, they improve connectivity to key destinations and supporting Worcestershire’s long term active travel strategy.
