Phillip Island Bridge is a cantilever bridgeinVictoria, Australia, that connects the Australian mainland with Phillip Island.

History[edit]

On 29 November 1940, a suspension bridge opened between San Remo, Victoria on the mainland to Newhaven, Victoria on Phillip Island.[1][2] The 540 metre bridge had two lanes but no footpaths, instead having six pedestrian refuges. The main span was 168 metres long. The cables had previously been used on a bridge on Sydney's North Shore. Because of weight restrictions, tourist coaches had to offload their passengers.[3]

In April 1966, a contract was awarded to John Holland for a replacement bridge made from reinforced concrete. It opened on 21 November 1969.[3][4][5]
