Logic Lane covered bridge, Covered footbridge at University College, Oxford, England
Logic Lane covered bridge is a covered footbridge at University College Oxford that connects two building groups across a small cobbled passage. The structure spans between Radcliffe Quad and the Durham Buildings.
Harry Wilkinson Moore designed this bridge in 1904 after a legal dispute with Oxford City Council regarding its construction over a public right of way was resolved. The project solved the challenge of linking two separate parts of the college.
The bridge serves as a daily passage for students and faculty moving between academic spaces within the college. It reflects how the institution expanded its buildings over time and created connections between different areas of campus.
The bridge is accessible during college opening hours and is located at the High Street end of Logic Lane. It provides shelter from rain when moving between the buildings.
Excavations near the site revealed Bronze Age ditches and Saxon settlements, showing thousands of years of human activity at this location. The findings indicate that this area has been inhabited long before the college was founded.
