What is the meaning of the Latin inscription 'Suspensa Vix Via Fit' which is at the top of the Leigh Woods pier?

No literal translation makes any sense but freely translated it can be said to mean “A suspended way (or road) made with difficulty”.

The unknown author of the Bridge line has used the word ‘suspensa’ to give it relevance and the word ‘vix’, pronounced ‘vicks’ in the Latin pronunciation is probably a play on words with the name of William Vick who first left money in his will for building a bridge. Puns of this kind were once common.
