Port Phillip Bay Bridge proposals

The Port Phillip Bay Bridge proposals have been suggested as a means of linking Queenscliff and Sorrento via a bridge and therefore eliminating the need of a ferry as the only way of transport across the waterway.

[1] Such a bridge would need to span a 3.1-kilometre (1.9 mi) stretch of water known as "The Rip" between Queenscliff and Portsea, Victoria in order to connect the Bellarine Highway and the Mornington Peninsula Freeway.

Based on this preferred crossing, the bridge would have a landfall to landfall distance of 5.7 km (3.5 mi), with a main span of 2.5 km (1.5 mi).

In March 2023 the Mayor of Mornington Peninsula Steve Holland supported an idea for the bridge.
