This may be a case of a poorly constructed example. "Across the river" indicates that it, like the farm, tree, or anything else, is on the other side of the river. Most bridges are above a river, or something else.

- I don't think I'd want to travel on a bridge that goes through a river.
- I think that the problem here is with the verb is : perhaps it should be goes , which would then make 'across' or 'above' correct.

'Bridge over troubled waters..."
Honestly, though, I would most likely use "across" given those options. It's certainly not "through" and "on" suggests that the bridge is more of a dock-like structure. I suppose "above" would technically be correct, but it's not commonly used in that context.
