Comment: This appears to be about a seemingly very mundane skyway with the coordinates 60°23'37.2"N 5°19'16.1"E (Fortunen 9-11, Bergen). I can not access the Bergens Tidende article, I was unable to determine that the other two sources verify the claims which they are cited next to. Please provide multiple secondary and independent reliable sources containing significant coverage of the subject. Please provide a quote from Bergens Tidende which verifies the claim that The bridge is a Bergen attraction and is one of the most visited sights in the city

The Bridge of Sighs in Bergen, Norway is a covered bridge. It was built in 1983 and crosses Fortunen between Bergen Courthouse and Valkendorfs gate 6, connecting the two buildings that make up Tinghuskvartalet, a complex of courts, offices and holding areas operated by Hordaland District Court.[1]. It is named after the Bridge of Sighs in Venice, although they have little architecturally in common beyond the fact that they are both covered bridges[2].
The name comes from the suggestion that prisoners will sigh at their final view of beautiful Bergen through the windows as they are taken across the bridge from the court and down to their cells[3]
