River Lea Crossing refurbishment wins prestigious sustainability award!

13 March 2025

We’re absolutely thrilled to share that our River Lea Crossing refurbishment project for Road Management Services (A13) PLC on behalf of Transport for London received the Bridges Sustainability Award at the Bridges25 awards! The refurbishment, currently underway, is being carried out by VolkerFitzpatrick Ltd.

Read what the judges had to say:

“Commendable that 84% of the original structure was preserved.”

“Impressive sustainability performance in maximising benefits from already invested carbon: every year the original bridge remains in service lowers the structure’s embodied carbon.”

“A brave project with a smart sustainability story. It illustrates a good approach to refurbishment over replacement and the effort required to make hard decisions.”
