STUNNING bird's eye view pictures show the progress of Worcester city's newest bridge.

Worcestershire County Council has shared bird's eye pictures of the multi-million-pound construction of the Kepax Bridge in Gheluvelt Park.

The Kepax bridge project, which started in October, will see a new walking and cycling bridge from Gheluvelt Park to the former Kepax landfill site in Worcester.

Large areas of what was once grass can now be seen dug up, with bollards and construction vehicles at work.

Diggers and cranes can be seen laying out gravel for the foundations of the bridge, which is the next stage of the work.

Work is currently focused on the structural bases of the bridge, ahead of works starting on the main bridge span later this year.

A Worcestershire County Council spokesperson said: "New photos show how works on Kepax Bridge are progressing.

"Works on Worcester’s newest walking and cycling bridge have recently focused on the structure bases, ahead of works starting on the main bridge span later this year."

In March, work on the site was focused on constructing the new foot and cycleways leading up to where the bridge would be on both sides of the River Severn.

Temporary access roads were constructed, and preparatory works had to take place ahead of the foundation works.

The new bridge comes after the council was told it could not be trusted to use the money for walking and cycling correctly until it improves as part of a ‘zero’ rating by government body Active Travel England.

The rating was given to the council for not even meeting the ‘minimum standards’ of political leadership on boosting walking and cycling in the county and for its lacklustre track record of providing improvements.

The bridge project is expected to be completed in 2024.
