The Ponte degli Scalzi, literally "bridge of the barefoot (monks)" was built on 1934 under the project of the engineer Eugenio Miozzi. Venetians also call it the bridge of the station or of the railway station, because of its proximity of Santa Lucia railway station. The modern architect looked to the old Rialto Bridge example.
The Ponte degli Scalzi at the northern end of the Grand Canal serves the town’s road terminus and railway station, and the Accademia crosses the canal’s southern bend. Way back in the 1990s it was decided to give the town a new, fourth crossing.
