Built before 1447, the bridge partially collapsed on 31 January 2024 and entered Historic England’s 2025 Heritage at Risk Register.

The additional £5 million is expected to cover temporary and permanent repairs, with £1 million forecast for 2025/26 and £4 million for 2026/27.

Worcestershire County Council is funding the work while continuing to seek Heritage Lottery Fund support and other funding sources.

The budget is expected to be formally agreed on Thursday, 23 October 2025; reopening could take place in spring 2028.

It has been a hell of a battle to secure this money and I would like to thank my Cabinet colleagues for their hard work and support in getting this money in the budget, especially given the dreadful financial mess the last Conservative administration left the county council in.
— Cllr Alan Amos, Reform UK councillor and Worcestershire County Council cabinet member, on securing funding for Powick Old Bridge
