West Kowloon Corridor, Elevated highway in West Kowloon, Hong Kong.
The West Kowloon Corridor is an elevated roadway in Kowloon that carries traffic across the district on multiple lanes. The route connects various streets and neighborhoods, serving daily transport needs across the urban area.
The corridor began development in the late 1970s and expanded gradually to handle growing traffic in Kowloon. Its construction reflected the city's expansion and increasing need for modern transportation links across the district.
The corridor shapes the visual landscape of West Kowloon with its elevated structure towering over residential areas. Local commuters and residents regard the highway as a key link that connects different neighborhoods and changes how people move through the district.
The corridor is primarily used by minibuses and taxis moving quickly across the area. Pedestrians can see the structure from below, but only vehicles can access the elevated roadways directly.
A notable feature is how part of the corridor passes through a car park building, integrating the highway directly with urban structures. This design approach demonstrates creative infrastructure planning within dense urban surroundings.
