River Crossings

[RERomine]

Since I raised the bridge demolition question, which falls more in the realm of opinion, I'll pose a simple game fact question: Do roads that co-exist in the same hex as a river, cross the river, even if they don't graphically show it crossing?

While I'm sure I can figure this out in time, I haven't bothered to check this yet. There are instances where the river and road parallel each other in the same hex, but roads are never shown to cross the river. Other instances show the road clearly crossing the river and continuing on the other side. In both instances, the 'destroy bridges' option is available to ground units. If I have ground units present and am on the defensive, I've erred on the side of caution and blown the bridges anyhow. Am I wasting mouse clicks doing so?

Well, you can destroy the road. Obviously, if the road doesn't actually run across the river, then it doesn't offer that much help in crossing the river. But destroying it is of some benefit.
