Electric Road

Electric Road (Chinese: 電氣道) is a road in North Point on the Hong Kong Island of Hong Kong. Its spans from Fortress Hill of North Point and Tin Hau area of Causeway Bay. The road connected east to Java Road.

History

Electric Road remains unnamed when Hong Kong Tramway was completed in 1904. In 1913, Hongkong Electric built a power plant on the new reclamation of North Point to replace the one in Wan Chai. Its operation was delayed to summer 1919 because of World War I. The operation of the power plant spurred the development of North Point. In 1929 after the improvement of the road, it was named as Electric Road after the power plant. Before the completion of King's Road, it was the busiest road in North Point.
