Bismarck Avenue is an avenue in Grand Theft Auto IV, its episodes, and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, located in Algonquin, Liberty City. It is named after Bismarck, the state capital of North Dakota.

Description[]

The avenue starts in the north at an intersection with Vauxite Street, Walnut Way and San Juan Road in East Holland, and runs directly south, passing through the areas of Lancaster, Middle Park East, Hatton Gardens, Lancet, Easton, Lower Easton, Chinatown and coming to an end at an intersection with South Parkway running along the edge of The Exchange and Castle Gardens.

Along the road are various landmarks, buildings and features, including Cleethorpes Tower, Columbus Cathedral, Zirconium Building, Grand Easton Terminal and GetaLife Building. It also runs past an intersection with Kunzite Street which connects to the Algonquin Bridge.

At the northern end of the road, the avenue has has access to the west entrance of the East Holland Police Station. After the intersection at Manganese Street adjacent to the Columbus Cathedral, the road is divided in two with decorative trees running down the center of the road, akin to the real-life Park Avenue in New York City along this particular stretch. This continues until reaching the north side of the Grand Easton Terminal where a large sculpture presents the termination of the road on Jade Street. The road continues almost completely inline at the other side of the station on Hematite Street. At Emerald Street, the road once again shifts slightly east continuing on through Chinatown toward The Exchange where it terminates on a steep slope at South Parkway. The road continues onto Flatfish Place.

The entire street is a 2-lane road flowing in both directions and connects to 23 streets - almost all horizontal streets of the Algonquin alphabetical system, namely A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S and T, U and V, missing out letter I, and falling short of W and X.

While its stretch is technically longer than both Albany Avenue and Columbus Avenue - the second and first longest, respectively, Bismarck Avenue is broken up into 3 "sections" and, even when combined, only places third.[1]

It is likely based on Manhattan's Park Avenue, given where it passes through, particularly in the Lower Easton area of Algonquin, which appears to be based on Park Avenue's notable Grand Central Terminal stretch.
