Guildford Road is a major road in Perth, Western Australia, linking the inner-city suburb of Mount Lawley with Guildford in the north-east. The ten-kilometre-long (6.2 mi)[2] road runs mostly parallel to the Swan River, on its northern side, and is part of State Route 51,[3] which runs between Perth's CBD and Midvale. Guildford Road is maintained and controlled by Main Roads Western Australia,[4] which uses the internal designation "H026 Guildford Road" for Guildford Road, as well as Bridge Street and James Street in Guildford.[2] In the 1930s, the name Great Eastern Highway was coined to describe the road, but was actually used for the road on the other side of the Swan River.
