JQuery Redirect to URL after specified time

Question

Is there a way to use JQuery to redirect to a specific URL after a give time period?

This is improved @Vicky solution - it has clearInterval() added so it prevents a loop of reloading if the redirect takes too long:

                            $(document).ready(function () {
                                var myTimer = window.setInterval(function () {
                                    var timeLeft = $("#countdown").html();
                                    if (eval(timeLeft) == 0) {
                                        console.log('Now redirecting');
                                        clearInterval(myTimer);
                                        window.location = ("@Html.Raw(HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(redirectUrl))");
                                    } else {
                                        $("#countdown").html(eval(timeLeft) - eval(1));
                                    }
                                }, 1000);
                            });
