The bridge was the site of the opening skirmish of the conflict, the Battle of Powick Bridge on September 23, 1642 and also played a role in the Battle of Worcester on September 3, 1651, the last battle of the Civil War.
The bridge suffered a partial collapse of the wingwall at the end of January.
The Grade I listed Powick Old Bridge in Worcester was closed the following month to people and cyclists for safety reasons.
According to Historic England, the bridge was constructed before 1447 and was partially rebuilt during the 17th century.
