The Lady Young Road is a major roadway in Trinidad linking the Eastern Main Road in Barataria to the Queen's Park Savannah in Port of Spain. It is also an important connector between the Churchill Roosevelt Highway  and uptown Port of Spain.
The Lady Young Road runs through Morvant and crosses the foothills of the Northern Range Named for the wife of Governor Winthrop Young, the road is well known for its picturesque views of Port of Spain and its harbour. The road is one of the three main links between Port-of Spain and Morvant, others being Old Morvant Hill Road and the Beetham Highway.

The road is known for its tight curves and hard gradients due to the hill's treacherous curves. Be advised to take caution when using this road, as these curves must be travelled cautiously.
