Notes:

• Possibly constructed in the 1890s. Replaced by the Anderson Bridge, a concrete arch bridge, in 1933. The Anderson Bridge was destroyed in 1968 and replaced by a Bailey-style suspension bridge built on the same alignment as the older suspension bridge. The steel towers of the Bailey-style suspension bridge are still standing (as of the mid-2020s) and remnants of the stone towers of the older suspension bridge are still standing below the steel towers.
• Later at same location Teesta Bazaar (Tista Bazar) - Teesta Bazaar (তিস্তা বাজার) and Kalimpong (কালিম্পং), West Bengal, India.
