Altitude

Is there any way I can determine the altitude on either side of a river --
to assist with building bridges, since I sometimes have trouble with too
steep an incline on the approach.

Sure,
use the Query tool. It's the same one that you click on your
powerplants to see how much power you are generating, or your
schools to check on how many students there are.
Anyway, click on a tile along the shoreline and you will be
told that it is dirt and in the info is it's elevation.
Also check the color, darker green is higher elevation.

That'd only be SC3K. In SimCity 4, simply hit ctrl-X and type in
"terrainquery", and hit <Enter>. Then mouse your query tool over the
applicable tile(s).
