	Bridge of Sighs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Bridge of Sighs (Oxford) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hertford Bridge in New College Lane, Oxford, England is often referred to as the "Bridge of Sighs" because of its supposed similarity to the famous bridge of the same name in Venice.
		However, Hertford Bridge was never intended to be a replica of the Venetian bridge and many believe it looks more similar to the Rialto Bridge in the same city.
		The bridge links together the Old and New Quadrangles of Hertford College (the bridge does not link Hertford College to New College, as is stated by some inaccurate city tourguides).

	Venice Rialto Bridge - Bridge of Sighs - Ca' d'Oro
		The Rialto Bridge's 24-foot arch was designed to allow passage of galleys, and the massive structure was built on some 12,000 wooden pilings that still support the bridge more than 400 years later.
		The Bridge of Sighs received its name in the 17th century, because the prisoners who passed through it on their way to the prison cells on the other side would most likely see the beautiful sight of the lagoon and the island of S.Giorgio and freedom for the last time.
		However, it was only in the 19th century that it came to be called the 'Bridge of Sighs' after Lord Byron's famous reference in his poem Childe Harold's Pilgrimage "I stood in Venice on the Bridge of Sighs, a palace and prison on each hand".

	Bridge of Sighs
		The "sighs" — sospiri in Italian — were supposed to have come from the condemned men trudging their way to doom catching a last look at the beautiful Venice lagoon as they relinquished their freedom.
		Another legend says the sighs came from those of their loved ones who waited below at Ponte di Paglia and watched for a glimpse as the prisoners were marched off to prison or death.
		In reality, the Inquisition was long gone by the time the bridge was built, and the petty criminals who crossed it were more often being led across the bridge to their freedom.

		If you had at-grade roads and a low bridge over the river, you'd need either: very steep roads on either side of the valley; long, winding roads switchbacking up the sides of the valley; or some length of tunneling/blasting through the valley walls to reduce the grade of the road.
		As for the design, the bridge was the cheapest of four options because of surrounding terrain and urbanization along the route (others would have required tunnels or major earth-moving).
		The cable-stayed bridge design was conceived as a cheaper, less-materials-intensive alternative to suspension bridges in postwar Europe, and has become the dominant bridge type in the last couple of decades for major crossings, unless a long suspension bridge is required to span a deep waterway.
