Editing Yukon River (section)

==Bridges==
Despite its length, there are only four vehicle-carrying bridges across the river, listed from upstream to downstream:
* The Lewes Bridge, north of [[Marsh Lake]], Yukon, on the [[Alaska Highway]];
* The [[Robert Campbell (fur trader)|Robert Campbell]] Bridge, which connects the [[Whitehorse]] suburb of [[Riverdale, Yukon|Riverdale]] to the downtown area;
* The Yukon River Bridge in [[Carmacks, Yukon]], on the [[Klondike Highway]]; and
* The [[E. L. Patton Yukon River Bridge|Yukon River Bridge]], north of [[Fairbanks, Alaska]] on the [[Dalton Highway]].

A car [[ferry]] crosses the river at [[Dawson City]] in the summer; it is replaced by an [[ice bridge]] over the frozen river during the winter. Plans to build a permanent bridge were announced in March 2004, although they were subsequently put on hold because bids came in much higher than budgeted.

There are also two pedestrian-only bridges in Whitehorse, as well as a dam across the river and a [[hydroelectric]] generating station. The construction of the dam flooded the [[White Horse Rapids]], which gave the city its name, and created [[Schwatka Lake]].

Transportation is also performed along the river in summer by [[barge]], enabling heavy goods, oil, and vehicles to be transported to communities along the Yukon, Tanana, Innoko, and Koyukuk rivers. This service is performed by Ruby Marine and reaches Tanana on the Yukon River and [[Nenana, Alaska|Nenana]] on the Tanana River.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.rubymarineinc.com/|title=Ruby Marine|website=Rubymarineinc.com|access-date=11 June 2022}}</ref>
