Built between 1951 and 1956 by the Colombo Public Works Department to facilitate barge traffic between ships docked in the harbour and ports on the Kalani river. The bridge connected the Fort to the D.R. Wijewardena Mawatha.[1] Opened by Sir John Kotelawala, Prime Minister of Ceylon, one of the designed engineers in involved in its design was A. N. S. Kulasinghe then a harbour engineer. In 2011 the lock which had fallen out of use was rehabilitated as part of the Metro Colombo Urban Development Project.[2] References1. ^Environmental Screening Report for Construction of bank protection walls of Beira Lake and Rehabilitation of McCallum lock gates {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304055619/http://www.defence.lk/news/pdf/BeiraLake.pdf |date=2016-03-04 }} {{coord missing|Sri Lanka}}2. ^100 Ton Locks and Bridge, McCallum Road by A.N.S.
