unbridged
Lacking a crossing
Unbridged describes a gap, river, or divide that has no bridge across it: The unbridged canyon forced travelers to detour fifty miles.
Figuratively, it suggests a separation that remains unconnected or unresolved: The unbridged distance between their political views made compromise impossible.
