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
I counted 13 bridges across the Mississippi around Bemidji, a city of 15,000 in Minnesota.

And that far north the river is like five feet wide. The width of the river definitely plays a role in the number of crossings. Get down to Memphis and it’s a loooooooong way across.
