Queen's Bridge, Belfast

[2] The bridge was rebuilt several times over the years, such as in 1692 when seven arches collapsed due to Williamite troops transporting their cannons over it.

A piece of granite from the Long Bridge is embedded in the pavement at the junction of Castreagh Street and the Albertbridge Road in East Belfast.

[4] The contract for the construction of the new bridge was given by the Board of Works to Francis Ritchie & Son, with a tendered price of £27,000.

However, in 1836, Jackson was replaced as Antrim county surveyor by Charles Lanyon who supervised the construction with Fraser.

By July 1842, one of the arches had been keyed in, with the horizontal deck design having been chosen.
