Shahi Bridge, Jaunpur, Road bridge in Jaunpur, India.
The Shahi Bridge extends across the Gomti River with multiple arches constructed from bricks, spanning a significant distance through Jaunpur's center.
Emperor Akbar commissioned Afghan architect Afzal Ali to build this bridge between 1564 and 1567, establishing a vital crossing point over the Gomti River.
The bridge represents Mughal engineering techniques through its architectural elements, serving as a physical connection between different communities in Uttar Pradesh.
Located 1.7 kilometers north of Jaunpur Railway Station, the bridge continues to function as an active transportation route for vehicles and pedestrians.
Seven arches required complete reconstruction after the 1934 Nepal earthquake, demonstrating the structure's resilience through natural disasters.
