'''Bridge Four''' is the name of a [[bridge crew]] belonging to [[Highprince]] [[Torol Sadeas|Sadeas]]'s army, which is used to transport bridges so that soldiers could cross the chasms of the [[Shattered Plains]].{{book ref|twok|6}} Infamous for being the worst crew, it does not have a stable leader until [[Kaladin Stormblessed]] is transferred into the unit.
Under Kaladin's leadership, Bridge Four transfers to the control of [[Highprince]] [[Dalinar Kholin]], where it becomes a military unit, but chooses to retain the name of Bridge Four as an homage to its past.{{book ref|sa2|2}} In this capacity, Bridge Four acts as the personal guard of Highprince Kholin, royal guard to King [[Elhokar Kholin]], premier spearman platoon of the [[bridge crew]]s, and headquarters platoon for the bridge crew battalion.{{book ref|sa1|73}}
Their insignia, designed by Kaladin, is made up of the glyph vev (meaning the number four) suspended above the glyph gesheh (meaning bridge), stylized as a bridge spanning a chasm.{{17s ref|post|125104|Isaac told us|date=2014-04-13}}{{cite|I don't know if this is the earliest we knew this? or if someone worked it out before we were told?}}

Bridge four, even as bodyguards, remain very proud of their bridge. Their tattoos that they get to cover up their slave brands say 'freedom bridge four', to show that they were freed by bridge four.

{{quote
| It appeared that he'd been wrong. There had been something more they could do to him. One final torment the world had reserved just for Kaladin. And it was called Bridge Four.

{{quote
| Kaladin had not been assigned to Bridge Four by chance. Out of all the bridge crews, Bridge Four had the highest casualty rate. That was particularly notable, considering that average bridge crews often lost one-third to one-half of their number on a single run.

{{quote
| As they hefted their bridge, a spontaneous round of cheering rose up from the other crews. "That's new," ... "Guess they finally realized what we are," Kaladin said. "And what's that?" ... "We're their champions. Bridge forward!"
