Phillip Island Bridge

The concrete bridge stretches 640 meters across Western Port, connecting San Remo on the mainland to Newhaven on Phillip Island through 19 spans.

The current structure replaced a 1940 suspension bridge that used recycled cables from Sydney's North Shore and required tourist coaches to unload passengers before crossing.

The bridge supports the transportation needs of Phillip Island's 13,799 residents while managing seasonal tourist influxes that reach 40,000 visitors during summer months.

The structure incorporates dedicated pathways for pedestrians and cyclists alongside two vehicle lanes, spanning a longest section of 61 meters.

Regular maintenance programs and safety protocols ensure the bridge withstands the coastal environmental conditions while serving as the sole connection to the mainland.
