Bodies of water would either be crossed on ferryboats or if shallow enough by fording them (i.e. wading across).
In the case of crossing roads and railroad tracks everything would be at level crossings, where both crossed at a ground level intersection.
Without bridges there would also be no aqueducts to carry water, so this would be done with surface canals (which would have to be crossed by ferryboats).
There are many situations where these would be very dangerous.

How have bridges impacted society?
There are different types of bridges. There are bridges that have been built to ease traffic congestion in large cities; bridges have been built across rivers and the ocean to allow cars and trucks to travel from one place to another; bridges have been built to allow pedestrians to pass over highways safely. Bridges link places, so people are able to travel with ease between places. Goods can be carried on bridges and therefore trade is made possible.
