The Logic Lane covered bridge is a small covered bridge at the High Street end of Logic Lane, within University College, Oxford, England. [1]

Contents

The bridge was designed by the Oxford architect Harry Wilkinson Moore (1850–1915) and was completed in 1904. [2] It links the older Radcliffe Quad buildings with the newer Durham Buildings, built in 1903. Oxford City Council was against the scheme, since Logic Lane was officially a bridleway, but the court judged in favour of the College—so the bridge was built.
