The Yangjingbang was the name of the creek which separated the International Settlement and the French Concession. It was filled up by decision of the French Municipal Council in May 1915 and renamed Avenue Edward VII. The former bridges were disassembld for use in other locations. The two foreign councils supported the cost of deconstructing the stone bridge on the Bund.

Discussions about culverting the Yangjingbang Creek started as early as 1903, but it took ten years for the two settlements to reach an agreement. The main concern about the creek was sanitation and its appearance. At the same time, there was also a concern to maintain a useful waterway that ran through the settlements.
