It bothers me that it doesn't say "build a fucking wall over the river"

What is a bridge if not a slotted wall over water?

Note: slot size may vary

Indeed. Seeing as aqeducts are bridges made for water to cross land, and it is called a wall here. A bridge letting "land" cross over water is also a wall.
