Strand Underpass Strand Underpass The Strand Underpass is a one-way vehicle tunnel in central London connecting Waterloo Bridge to Kingsway near Holborn. Opened in 1964, it was built within the former Kingsway tramway subway, which closed in the 1950s. The underpass is built within part of the former Kingsway tramway subway, which was wide and allowed bi-directional flow because of the fixed rails and relatively narrow width of the trams. The new underpass was built by John Mowlem & Co and opened on 21 January 1964. It is only wide, and consequently normally one-way northbound because of the side clearances required. The
Fitzroy Bridge (opened 1952) seven spans carrying a 12.8 metre-wide roadway with two 1.5 metre-wide pedestrian walkways on either side. The Fitzroy Bridge replaced the original Fitzroy Bridge which had served the city since 1881. When the new bridge was opened, the original bridge was closed but it remained unused alongside the new bridge until it was demolished in January 1956. Linking Rockhampton City with Berserker, the Fitzroy Bridge connects Fitzroy Street with Toft Street, passing over Victoria Parade, Reaney Street, Ashney Street and the Lakes Creek railway line. In 2018, Australian Iranian artist Niloufar Lovegrove painted a mural in the Victoria Parade underpass
