Créée en 1896, cette avenue devait relier le parc du Cinquantenaire au parc de Tervueren où se situait le pavillon du Congo lors de l'exposition universelle de 1897. Elle devait donc permettre une meilleure communication entre les différents pavillons de l'exposition. (remark in French, as published)
