WORCESTERSHIRE County Council is celebrating regional recognition for Kepax Bridge after the landmark structure was named RIBA West Midlands Building of the Year and received a RIBA Regional Award.
By winning the Midland award, it has also been entered for the RIBA National awards to be held later this year.
The awards recognise the bridge’s outstanding design, engineering excellence and contribution to the local community, highlighting the successful collaboration between Worcestershire County Council, the project’s design team, architects and contractors.
The Kepax Bridge provides a vital new active travel connection across the River Severn, linking communities and offering a safe, accessible route for pedestrians, cyclists and wheeled users.
Designed with both functionality and place-making in mind, the bridge has quickly become a valued civic asset for residents and visitors alike.
The recognition from the Royal Institute of British Architects underlines Worcestershire County Council’s commitment to delivering high-quality infrastructure that supports sustainable travel, strengthens communities and enhances the county’s natural environment.
Opened in December 2024, Kepax Bridge is designed to encourage healthier, active travel and improve connectivity across Worcester for generations to come.
