A 2026 RIBA National Award win for Kepax Bridge!
“Inspiring delight, enhancing place, and supporting long-term environmental and social objectives” - the Kepax pedestrian and cycle bridge demonstrates that good design is the vital ingredient for infrastructure that serves both community and context.
As 2026 RIBA Awards Group Chair Neil Gillespie noted, this year’s winning projects show how architects, working with ambitious and enlightened clients, can continue to create places and spaces of exceptional quality and value in increasingly challenging times. Kepax is a testament to that approach - made possible through the shared vision and collaboration of Worcester County Council, , , and the wider design and delivery team.
Now well into its second summer, the bridge is fully bedded into its site and the daily routines of residents across the city. By the end of the year, it should welcome its one-millionth user.
Congratulations to all the winning design teams.
