fun fact about 北河南路 dug a little deeper and found this:
"如今的河南路分为北、中、南三段。其中,河南中路是英租界辟筑的第一条马路,此路恰好处在当时租界的西缘,故称“界路”(1863年更名“河南路”)。1874年,公共租界工部局在今北苏州路至七浦路修筑了一条5米宽的新路,因其隔着苏州河,与河南路遥遥相望,遂定名“北河南路”,这即是现在河南北路的雏形。"

I would handle it differently. The suggested translation was only for the OP, not the sentence I quoted myself.

North Henan (Road)

北河南路 is the current 河南北路, I think "north Henan road" can be used to translate the old and the current name.
