===Main roads and tunnels=== [[Image:Gloucester Road.JPG|thumb|[[Gloucester Road, Hong Kong|Gloucester Road]] in Wan Chai]] Wan Chai's [[Gloucester Road, Hong Kong|Gloucester Road]], an east–west trunk route along the northern coast, is connected to [[Cross-Harbour Tunnel]], the first undersea tunnel in Hong Kong. This tunnel is connected to the south by a direct viaduct from its landing point on Hong Kong Island to the [[Aberdeen Tunnel]] towards the southern coast.<ref>Bray, Denis. [2001] (2001). Hong Kong Metamorphosis. Hong Kong University Press. {{ISBN|962-209-550-X}}.</ref> Connecting [[Hong Kong Island]] at [[Kellett Island]] (the site of the Royal Navy Club) to a reclaimed site at [[Hung Hom Bay]] in [[Kowloon]], this tunnel provides a direct link by road. Prior to the tunnel's opening in 1972, local drivers and pedestrians depended solely upon the Star Ferry services to cross the [[Victoria Harbour]].<ref>Harper, Damian. [2005] (2005). China. Lonely Planet. {{ISBN|1-74059-687-0}}</ref> Linking the main financial districts on both sides of Victoria Harbour, the tunnel carries 123,000 vehicles daily.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gov.hk/en/about/abouthk/factsheets/docs/transport.pdf|title=Hong Kong, the Facts transport|publisher=Hong Kong government|date=1 April 2007|access-date=28 August 2007}}</ref> On the other hand, the thoroughfare [[Queen's Road East]], an extension from Queen's Road West at Kennedy Town, through Queen's Road Central at Central, Queensway at Admiralty, takes a southerly route to provide an alternative east–west road link. Due to Wan Chai's early involvement in the British colonial administration, road names were often taken from previous [[Governor of Hong Kong|Governors]], such as [[Hennessy Road]], and notable people (Gloucester Road, Jaffe Road, Lockhart Road, Johnston Road, Fleming Road, Luard Road, O'Brien Road, Marsh Road, Stewart Road, McGregor Street, etc.).
