The bridge only has stairs going up and down and is not accessible with 23kg luggage.
The bridge also has scammers forcibly taking your luggage and carrying it "for you" and demands a cash payment of random value once the "service" is delivered.
The most comfortable way to go from Stazione di Venezia Santa Lucia to San Marco is via AVM Ferry 1, 2, or 5.1. The ferry terminal is in front of the train station.
If you buy day passes 30 days in advance, you get some discount. Buy
online then collect the printed tickets using a self-service kiosk in front of the ferry terminal.
