The New West Road is a major road in Kien-k'ang, Themiclesia. It connects the Great Northern Highway at the 'Reng-men roundabout and the eastern (Kien-k'ang) end of the New Northern Bridge (Bridge No. 15), in a roughly north-south direction. The road was commissioned by the City in the early 1850s for the convenience of a burgeoning neighbourhood based on serjeanty land concessions from the Middle Palace, where many wealthy and powerful individuals were migrating. Today, it is famed for its luscious landscaping in its medians, historic street lamps, and the generally expensive real estate on its side, often associated with famous personalities.
