Reply to comment by beipphine 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

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.
