I don't see any MP benefit for trying to cross rivers at rail and road bridges.
Can that "feature" be added in any way?

I couldn't find anything in the manual. Am I missing something?

Been thinking about this too, mostly for major rivers and road movement. For rail bridges I kind of assume that they are part of the rail damage/repair system.

Maybe a number of bridges that are in a hex that can carry tanks over the major river in a given direction... An option to blow bridges over major crossing and maybe some bonus for taking them intact. The more intact major bridges there are in a hex, the less the bottleneck would be for moving troops over the river.

For smaller rivers it should be less critical as a new bridge can be build in less than a week by army engineers I assume.

Yes that is what I was thinking.

I was mainly concerned with the double wide railroad bridges at Vitebsk.

Here is a picture of one of them.

7th Panzer is on the ne side of the Dvina and 12th Panzer is on the w side.
They have 12 and 6 MPs respectively. Yet neither can do even a hasty!

They other thing I don't get is that is the Dvina really a major river at this point.
