Hodges Drive

Hodges Drive is a main west–east road in Joondalup, north of Perth, Western Australia. It begins in the suburb of Ocean Reef at a T-junction with Boat Habour Quays in the Ocean Reef Marina and runs through the residential areas in Ocean Reef, Connolly and Heathridge, before terminating at Joondalup Drive. The road continues from there as Grand Boulevard. Hodges Drive is a four lane dual-carriageway for its entire length apart from a small section near the interchange with Boat Habour Quays where it becomes a 2 lane road.

History
Hodges Drive's construction began in February 1981, to connect the northern end of Marmion Avenue with Joondalup Drive. Its purpose was to allow for easier access to the Joondalup suburbs development especially the newly built Wanneroo District Hospital and the Shire of Wanneroo's new administration buildings. Developed in two stages, the first clearing and establishing a limestone road base and the second, the sealing of the road with its completion as a two-lane road by the spring of 1981. A underpass for pedestrians was also built to Connolly to Heathridge.

The northern part of the Mitchell Freeway terminated at Hodges Drive between 1999 and 2008, and the road provides freeway access for residents in the Joondalup City area.

A project to duplicate Hodges Drive, turning it into a dual carriageway for its entire length, was completed by the end of June 2013.

Hodges Drive was extended to Boat Harbour Quays as part of the Ocean Reef Marina Project. Construction lasted 8 months and was completed on the 20th July 2021
