Hoddle Street is a busy arterial road in inner-eastern Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It was named after Robert Hoddle, the surveyor who designed Melbourne's Hoddle Grid and some of its inner suburbs such as Carlton. It varies between an undivided arterial road with two lanes running each way, to a three or four lane dual carriageway.
Hoddle Street runs 3.5 km north-south from Clifton Hill to Richmond where it becomes Punt Road, continuing south through Windsor, and as Barkly Street, through St. Kilda and Elwood. North of Clifton Hill, the line of Hoddle Street continues north as High Street, through the suburbs of Northcote, Thornbury, Preston, Reservoir and Thomastown.
The majority of Hoddle Street is a wide section (3 to 4 lanes in each direction) making up a portion of the Hoddle Highway. This section connects the Eastern Freeway and Punt Road to other arterial roads that feed into the Melbourne CBD.
