*'''[[Jubilee Bridge]]''', 1883. Aged 24, in association with Chief Engineer in India Sir Bradford Leslie, he was Chief Engineer in charge of the construction of the Jubilee Bridge (India) over the Hooghley River between Naihati and Bandel which was completed in 1887. The bridge is noteworthy as a cantilever truss bridge, constructed entirely by riveting without the use of nuts or bolts in the construction.
The '''[[Jubilee Bridge]]''', known originally as the '''Hooghly River Bridge''' was designed by [[Alexander Meadows Rendel]], Consultant Engineer to EIR and [[Bradford Leslie]], the EIR Chief Engineer. The Jubilee Bridge is considered to be the climax of both their bridge-building careers allowing trains to cross the Hooghly River  to  [[Calcutta]].  The construction started in 1882 and was completed in 1887. The Chief Engineer in charge of construction works was Lt Col Arthur John Barry. The Jubilee Bridge was opened on 16 February 1887 in the fiftieth or jubilee year of the reign of Queen Victoria.
