Reply to comment by Eroe777 in TIL that the 1980 miles of Alaska’s Yukon River is only crossed by 4 bridges. By comparison, the slightly longer Mississippi River is has more than 132 bridges. by triviafrenzy

When outside of the big cities the bridges are very few and far between. At least in the south.
