Route 1 (Hong Kong)
Route 1 (Chinese: 一號幹線) is a major artery in Hong Kong that runs in a generally north-south direction, connecting Aberdeen with Sha Tin.
The route is heavily congested, notably on the Canal Road viaduct that links the Aberdeen Tunnel with the Cross-Harbour Tunnel in Causeway Bay. Route 1 continues to serve as the most direct route from the north shore of Hong Kong Island to the Southern District. The road travels across the harbour and runs through the middle of Kowloon and continues north into the New Territories.
The route begins at the eastern end of Aberdeen Praya Road outside Ocean Court. Beyond the starting point, the road continues along the Hong Kong Island coast towards Tin Wan and Pokfulam. Immediately after the starting point, the route intersects with Ap Lei Chau Bridge at a trumpet interchange, providing the sole road connection to the eponymous island.
Route 1 continues along Wong Chuk Hang Road, with a short viaduct over the intersection with Nam Long Shan Road. At the end of the viaduct, there is another trumpet interchange connecting Ocean Park. The route then enters a T-interchange, where Wong Chuk Hang Road diverges from Route 1 and continues towards Repulse Bay and Stanley. Route 1 continues northeast towards Aberdeen Tunnel, the only highway tunnel connecting northern and southern Hong Kong Island. After passing through the toll plaza, the route enters the southern tunnel portal.
Upon leaving the tunnel, traffic runs on the Wong Nai Chung Gap Flyover after exiting the tunnel at Happy Valley, running above Wong Nai Chung Road. At this point, a diamond interchange connects Wan Chai and Causeway Bay with Route 1 via Queen's Road East and Leighton Road.
Route 1 then continues into the Canal Road Flyover, with another pair of on/off-ramps outside Times Square accessible from the north. It then descends to the ground level into Wan Chai Interchange, a complete interchange intersecting with Gloucester Road (part of Route 4 before 2019), allowing traffic to head west into Admiralty and Central; or eastwards to Tin Hau and further onto the Island Eastern Corridor.
The route then heads into the Cross-Harbour Tunnel, the first underwater road crossing across the Victoria Harbour. The Central-Wan Chai Bypass (current route of Route 4) passes directly beneath the southern portal, but is not connected to Route 1.
Upon reaching Kowloon, Route 1 passes through the toll plaza and bus interchange of the Cross-Harbour Tunnel, situated between Hung Hom station and the Polytechnic University. It then merges into Hong Chong Road, a short trunk road that ends at the junction with Chatham Road North (Route 5), where traffic to/from the Cross-Harbour Tunnel is connected with both directions of Route 5 via ramps laid out in a trumpet interchange fashion. Immediately after this junction, Route 1 is joined by traffic from Chatham Road South and Hung Hom Bypass.
