Worcestershire County Council is proposing a new pedestrian and cycling bridge in Evesham.

A scheme to deliver a new walking and cycling bridge across the River Severn in Worcester was approved by the Council’s Planning and Regulatory Committee on 28 September 2021.

This Grade I listed bridge was closed 2024 due to a wing wall collapse. Find out about it's restoration here.

The Government’s 2020 ‘Gear Change’ plan has the headline objective of making cycling and walking the natural choices for half of all shorter journeys by 2030.

These works form part of our commitment to improving walking and cycling routes across the county, and will include brand-new resurfaced routes; offering enhanced provision for cyclists and pedestrians travelling in the area and beyond.
