$50 million boost to secure San Remo Bridge
Major construction will run from June through to mid-2028, with SRG Global appointed as contractor for the rehabilitation project.
THE only road link to Phillip Island is about to undergo its biggest overhaul in more than 50 years, with early works on the $50 million San Remo Bridge rehabilitation starting later this month.
Major construction kicks off in June and will run through to mid-2028.
The bridge carries between 10,000 and 15,000 vehicles a day and is the lifeline for the millions of visitors who travel to Phillip Island every year.
Contractor SRG Global has been appointed to deliver the upgrade in partnership with VIDA Roads, on behalf of Transport Victoria.
From late April, crews will establish site compounds and storage areas in both San Remo and Newhaven ahead of the main build.
The state government says the work will strengthen the bridge’s structure and extend its service life while maintaining current traffic capacity.
State Bass MP Jordan Crugnale said the project would secure the future of one of Victoria’s most important coastal links.
“This project helps secure the future of the iconic San Remo Bridge, ensuring that this vital link remains safe and reliable to support locals, visitors and businesses for decades to come,” Ms Crugnale said.
“We’re delivering a carefully planned upgrade that protects the environment, supports tourism and keeps traffic moving while the work is underway.“
