Took a scenic detour off the Alaska Highway this morning and found myself crossing this:

This carries Yukon Highway 8 over the Tagish River at, frankly, Tagish River.
I then spent an age wondering what They had done with the Mighty Yukon, but it appears from Ye Mappe that the Mighty Yukon does not become such until the confluence of the Tagish and Teslin rivers somewhere up the Klondike Highway, where I am not going yet. And when I
do cross it, it'll be on a ferry. There
is a bridge across the Mighty Yukon but it's up the Dalton Highway, where most hire cars, including mine, are Strictly Forbidden to go. Also there was nowhere to park by the Teslin River bridge at Johnson's Crossing. Soz.
Edit: The Alaska Highway does cross the Mighty Yukon after all, but it was on the stretch I missed out today to take the Tagish-Carcross Scenic Wossname. You may rest assured, however, that it will be bagged on the way back south.
