The mayor of Kangaroo Island in South Australia has denied any plans to build a bridge connecting the island to the mainland.

 

The proposed four-lane, 14-kilometre-long bridge over backstairs passage was proposed by Universal Bridging Consortium and backed by SA best MP Frank Pangallo.

 

Mayor of Kangaroo Island Pete Clements said the community is trying to protect something very precious at Kangaroo Island and a new bridge would not protect this branding.
