Gascoigne Road ({{zh|t=加士居道|cy=ga1 si6 geui1 dou6}}) is a main road in Kowloon, Hong Kong, going west-east from Nathan Road to Chatham Road South through the head of King's Park, leading vehicles from West Kowloon to the Cross-Harbour Tunnel. Gascoigne Road Flyover ({{zh|t=加士居道天橋|labels=no}}) is a {{convert|1.2|km|mi|abbr=on}} long flyover linking between Gascoigne Road and Ferry Street, passing through Yaumatei Carpark Building.[1] Built in 1977, it is part of the West Kowloon Corridor. HistoryThe road was laid out after 1901 and named after William Julius Gascoigne,[2] Commander British Troops in China and Hong Kong from 1898{{ndash}}1903. It was reported in 1908 that "All the roads on the [Kowloon] peninsula are wide and lined with trees, and two in particular—Robinson Road [today's Nathan Road] and Gascoigne Road—are noticeable by reason of their width" and "Gascoigne Road, which is 100 feet wide, runs right across the peninsula from Hunghom to Yaumati, and skirts the King's Park, a large enclosure reserved for recreation, and the United Services Recreation Ground."[3] The Fronde Memorial, a granite obelisk, was erected in May 1908 in memory of the five sailors of the French Arquebuse-class destroyer Fronde who disappeared in the sinking of their boat near the Torpedo Depot, Kowloon, during the 1906 Hong Kong typhoon. Initially erected at the corner of Gascoigne Road and Jordan Road, the monument was relocated to Hong Kong Cemetery in Happy Valley[4] during the 1960s.[5] The Fronde was later salvaged, repaired in the Hung Hom shipyard, and left Hong Kong in March 1907. It was active during World War I and was decommissioned in 1919.[6] Gascoigne Road was widened in 1988 and the adjacent slope near the Queen Elizabeth Hospital was cut back. A 12m high rock-socketed caisson retaining wall was constructed to support the cutting.[7] FeaturesNorthern side of the road: (from east to west)
