Statement on the integrity of the San Remo Bridge

“The San Remo bridge is the only vehicle connection between Phillip Island to mainland Victoria, and I share the community’s frustration over an apparent lack of maintenance.

The bridge’s structural integrity, and limited information being provided to residents while investigations are undertaken have been a topic of concern to my office.

On behalf of local residents, I am seeking answers from the Allan Labor Government on past engineering inspections, maintenance of the bridge and a proposed timeline of upgrade works – locals deserve to know its status.

Phillip Island is home to thriving a community and some of Victoria’s premier tourist attractions – the bridge’s structural integrity and the safe passage of locals and visitors must be a priority.”
