Gloucestor road widened
The old Gloucestor rd was still open to traffic in above picture. One can see the Fleming flyover in the distance almost completed. It was opened on July 1 1970.
How it looked after it was opened
Note that a pedestrian bridge was completed around the same time. The Tonnochy pedestrian bridge seems to be under construction too in top picture above.
With these bridges ready, the widened Gloucestor road was opened on Aug 6 1970. The new road was called "waterfront boulevard" in news report. But is is still called Gloucestor road today.
The 28th industrial expo was held first time at the Wanchai reclaimed land end of 1970. A picture showing the widened Gloucestor road which was opened in Aug 1970. And the Tonnochy pedestrian bridge completed not long before that.
