Main coastal road on reclaimed waterfront, linking Queensway Quay and dockyard.
Queensway is a 1.5-kilometre main coastal road in Gibraltar, built on reclaimed land west of the Line Wall Curtain. Renamed after Queen Elizabeth II’s 1954 visit, it links Queensway Quay Marina with Gibraltar Harbour’s southern industrial park and dockyard, passing Europort Avenue, Reclamation Road and Ragged Staff Gates.
Queensway is a principal coastal road in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar. Classified as a road and about 1.5 kilometres long, it runs on reclaimed land immediately west of Gibraltar’s main city wall, the Line Wall Curtain, and follows much of that wall’s length. The road was renamed Queensway after a visit by Queen Elizabeth II in 1954. In northern Gibraltar, Queensway begins at a roundabout that connects with Glacis Road and Waterport Avenue. From there it runs southwest before turning south‑southwest, passing junctions with Europort Avenue and Reclamation Road. Along this stretch it runs parallel to Gibraltar Harbour, serving as the only road access to Queensway Quay, described as the oldest leisure marina on the Rock of Gibraltar and located to the west of the road. Near the dockyard, Queensway reaches a roundabout at Ragged Staff Gates, where it meets Ragged Staff Road and effectively ends, although a road continues into the industrial park and dockyard area. In the early 1990s, a £50 million development facilitated by Taylor Woodrow created a hotel, apartments and a marina complex along Queensway’s quayside, reinforcing the road’s role in connecting residential, leisure and industrial facilities along Gibraltar’s western waterfront.
