Nominations are now open for the 2026 Highways Awards, the premier black-tie event recognising the teams, projects and important work undertaken by our sector.

Following a record-breaking evening last year, the event returns to Park Plaza Hotel in London on 23 September and will continue to be the ‘pinnacle of the calendar' and a great opportunity to ‘recognise the achievements of people in our sector, catch up with colleagues and network', as MD of Kier Highways, James Birch, said in 2025.

 

By visiting the Highways Awards site, you can book a table to enjoy the evening, enquire about sponsoring the event, and submit to any of 19 award categories (the Special Merit Award is decided by the judges based on the best winner from all categories).

You can also revisit last year's event, with interviews with the winners, details about some of the best industry projects from the year and learn more about our charity partner, Maggie's.

More information on each of the categories and how to enter a nomination, book a table or become a sponsor can be found at highwaysawards.co.uk.
