A former rail bridge over the Hooghly River between Bandel and Naihati. The bridge was opened on 16 February 1885 in the golden jubilee year of the reign of Queen Victoria. The bridge served the people for 129 years, and several generations used the service to cross the River Hooghly. The bridge was the first permanent crossing over the Hooghly, which had been considered unbridgeable owing to difficult foundation conditions at that time. The bridge was replaced by Sampreeti Setu (New Jubilee Bridge) in 2016, India's first continuous truss bridge. However, the old bridge is still there and is obscured by the new bridge when viewed from the south.
The Jubilee Bridge is a former rail bridge over the Hooghly River between Naihati and Bandel in Kolkata, West Bengal, India. It provided an important connection between Garifa railway station and Hooghly Ghat railway station.
