According to historians, the bridge was built in 1628, and the road between the bridge and the Humayun's Tomb was a wide tree-lined path.
The historic 400-year-old Barapulla Bridge in Delhi's Nizamuddin area will be restored by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) within three months, Raj Niwas officials said on Sunday. Delighted to share, Delhi's another heritage- 400 years old Barapulla Bridge (with 12 piers) will soon regain its lost glory.

The ASI's director general gave the assurance during a site visit by Delhi Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena to review the progress of the bridge restoration, they added.
This was his second visit to Barapulla Bridge in just a week, the first visit being on August 4, the officials said.
