Hoddle Bridge, Arch bridge in Melbourne, Australia
The Hoddle Bridge spans the Yarra River between Richmond and South Yarra districts, providing five traffic lanes and footpaths on both sides of the structure.
Construction of the bridge started in 1937 under Melbourne City Council and Country Roads Board supervision, reaching completion in December 1938 at a cost of 77,009 pounds.
Named after Robert Hoddle, the surveyor responsible for Melbourne's street layout, the bridge replaced an earlier footbridge and punt service across the Yarra River.
The structure features reinforced concrete T-beam construction with five segmental arched spans, supported by transverse piers connected through concrete cross-beams.
Traffic measurements after the bridge opening indicated a 17.38 percent increase in flow compared to previous routes that required detours through alternative crossings.
