The
Noorabad
bridge
on
the
Sank
river
between
Morena
to
Gwalior
on
the
Agra-Mumbai
highway
is
a
classic
example
of
Mughal
history.
The
Mughal
emperor
Jahangir
built
it
in
the
16th
century
after
his
wife
Nur
Jahan.
In
which
seven
arches
were
prepared.
These
arches
are
about
six
meters
high
and
five
meters
wide.
Wider
boundary
walls
have
been
constructed
on
either
side
of
the
bridge.
Two
octagonal
domed
umbrellas
are
built
on
these.
On
the
other
side,
two
octagonal
towers
were
built.
This
bridge
is
protected
by
the
Department
of
Archeology
of
Madhya
Pradesh
Government.
An
inn
was
constructed
here
during
Jahangir's
reign.
The
inn
is
in
the
form
of
a
citadel,
in
which
the
bastions
are
built
and
two
giant
gates
with
two
umbrellas
are
built.
However,
with
time,
it
has
now
reached
a
shabby
state.
It
is
written
in
Persian
at
the
entrance
of
Sarai
that
it
was
repaired
in
1661
during
the
reign
of
Aurangzeb.
This
historical
place
is
very
pleasing
to
the
tourists.
Some
time
ago,
the
Tourism
Development
Corporation
attempted
to
build
a
tourist
hut
here.
