Which district is Connaught Road in Hong Kong?

Connaught Road is the Central and Western District of Hong Kong.

Connaught Road, divided into Connaught Road Central and Connaught Road West, is part of Hong Kong Route 4. It is located along the Central and Western District of Hong Kong Island and connects Kennedy Town City West Road and Admiralty Harcourt Road. The entire line is a three-lane dual-divided road, with some sections being overpasses and underground tunnels.

Connaught Road Central was originally all surface roads when it was completed. Later, in the 1980s, to ease the increasingly congested traffic, the Rumsey Street Flyover and the Pedder Street Tunnel were built in 1986.

Extended information:

The Hong Kong government began large-scale reclamation projects in Central in 1889. In 1890, the British prince and Duke of Connaught visited Hong Kong. To commemorate this event, the then Hong Kong Governor Fu Lam-ming (acting for the Governor Des Voeux who was away from Hong Kong for vacation at the time) decided to name the new waterfront road in the Central Reclamation Area Connaught Road, and it was completed and opened to traffic in 1903.

Subsequently, Connaught Road was divided into two parts. Connaught Road starts from Murray Road in Admiralty in the east and ends at On Tai Street in Sheung Wan to the west; Connaught Road starts from On Tai Street in Sheung Wan to the west and ends at Shek Tong Tsui Hill Road in the west. During the Japanese colonial period in Hong Kong, Connaught Road was renamed "Sumiyoshi Street".
