Jubilee Bridge, Railway bridge in Hooghly district, India.
The steel railway bridge spans 415 meters across the Hooghly River, connecting the towns of Naihati and Bandel with dual tracks for train passage.
Built between 1882 and 1887, the bridge opened during Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee celebrations, marking the first permanent crossing over the Hooghly River.
The bridge stands near the sacred Hooghly River, a western branch of the Ganges that holds religious significance for Hindu communities in West Bengal.
The structure remained in service until April 2016, when railway traffic transferred to the adjacent Sampreeti Bridge, which now maintains regional connectivity.
Engineers constructed this cantilever bridge entirely through riveting techniques, without using any nuts or bolts in the assembly process.
