A quick Yahoo search states that NYC has the most bridges of any US city: over 2000. It makes perfect sense to me that NYC has the most, since it's a city that extends from the mainland to three major islands. BTW, the same search says that Pittsburgh has 446 bridges. Not sure if these figures are valid, though.

Define "bridge" please, as this tends to affect the outcome...
