San Remo Bridge Pipeline Bracket Renewal

Project overview

• Westernport Water has three pipelines connected to the underside of the San Remo / Phillip Island Bridge.
• These pipes provide vital water and wastewater services to Phillip Island and San Remo, transporting approximately 802.15 ML of drinking water and 503 ML of sewage to the Island annually.
• The brackets, fixtures and fittings connecting these pipelines to the bridge require proactive maintenance work to extend the life of the pipelines for another 30 years.
• Scaffolding is suspended under the bridge so workers can safely access the pipes while minimising impacts to traffic and pedestrians.
• The $5.5M San Remo Bridge Pipeline Bracket Renewal Project is being delivered by Westernport Water, with Freyssinet Australia the principal contractor.
• Works will take place between 26 February 2024 and December 2024.
• Occasional partial lane closures will be required while navigational markers for marine users are relocated. This will occur during the day in off-peak times.
