Roads, Streets & Buildings Named Ipswich Throughout the World

Below are listed all the roads, streets, drives, avenues etc. (plus a few buildings), from around the world named Ipswich that we have been able to locate. The list is not definitive, as there may be some that have slipped through the net & if anyone knows of any others that I’ve missed I would be grateful if you could let me know by emailing the details to info@planetipswich.com. Once verified, I will then add them to the list.
These roads are located in 9 countries throughout the world, including a few which use the spelling ‘Ipswitch’. There are also 8 roads or houses named Gippeswyk/Gyppeswyk/Gyppeswick/Gippeswick or Gippeswyck (one in Canada, the rest in England), which are separately listed.
As well as Ipswich Road & Ipswich Street, there are also places called Ipswich Drive, Avenue, Way, Circle, Court, Lane, Place, Close, Mews, Walk, Gardens, Grove, Circus, Crescent, Terrace, Parkway & Motorway, as well as one simply called ‘Ipswich’.
There are, of course, two types of roads listed. Firstly there are those that lead to, or in the general direction of, one of the Ipswiches. Secondly there are those, usually in towns & cities, that have been given the name by the local authorities, possibly as part of an area theme (e.g.‘English towns’). Some, however, may have other reasons for being named Ipswich, & if anyone has any information on why this should be in any particular location, once again I would be interested to receive details. Place d’Ipswich in Arras, France, for example, is so named due to the partnership between that town & Ipswich, England.
The countries are listed in the following order: (Click on the links below)

Note of explanation regarding Suffolk, Norfolk & Essex
The Ipswich Roads of Suffolk, Norfolk & Essex can get a bit confusing at times, insofar as there are sections of certain roads that bear the name Ipswich Road for a stretch, before changing names, only to become Ipswich Road again a few miles further on. In a case like this I have listed each section separately. On the other hand, some stretches named Ipswich Road run unbroken for several miles through a number of villages. In this case I have listed them only once.
The A140 is a good example of both the above scenarios. From its junction with the A146 in Norwich, the A140 is known as the Ipswich Road for several miles as it runs southwards through Caistor St. Edmund, Swainsthorpe, Newton Flotman & Saxlingham Thorpe, before becoming the Norwich Road near Tasburgh. This road could, conceivably be listed several times (Ipswich Road Swainsthorpe, Ipswich Road Newton Flotman etc) However, as the name remains unchanged for this entire stretch, I have counted it as one road. Conversely, a few miles further south it becomes the Ipswich Road again in two different locations (firstly at Long Stratton, then again at Tivetshall St.Mary to Scole). These sections are therefore listed separately.
