Honouring the innovation and expertise shaping the future of bridge engineering.

Every journey in the UK relies on a bridge somewhere along the way. Together they form one network, and when a single crossing closes, the effects reach far beyond the river it spans. Hammersmith Bridge, closed to cars since 2019 and now facing a £300m repair bill, shows what is at stake. Across the country, owners are managing ageing stock, heavier loads and tight budgets, while new crossings are still being designed and built.

NCE Bridges 2027 is where the people behind that work meet. Asset owners, engineers, contractors, inspectors and technology specialists come together for a day of frank, technical conversation about how we keep the network moving, followed by the NCE Bridges Awards in the evening.

The awards are your chance to show the industry what your team has delivered. Entering puts your work in front of a judging panel of asset owners and senior engineers, and the shortlist and winners are covered by New Civil Engineer.

Entries close on Friday 19 February 2027.

The support leading up to the event was exceptional, with prompt replies to all of emails and enquiries

Knight Architects

Really good for networking for our industries, we work heavily in Bridges across the UK. Lots of familiar faces, and good speakers and topics we are keen on

Denholm Industrial Services

As a small practice, it was particularly valuable to find our place within such a broad and well-established sector and to feel genuinely included in the wider bridge community. The event was very well organised and created a welcoming and engaging atmosphere

Prostorne Taktike

A well organised event and Sotiris was excellent in the way he introduced the evening and all the awards, it was a pleasant and enjoyable evening.
