This is the road that leads to the southeast quadrant around the bridge. It is located a short distance east of the bridge. Note the road sign (which is official looking, and does not look like a joke) that reads "Under Satellite Surveillance". This should be confirmation those who think that the government is spying on everybody. Oddly, there are not any "No Trespassing" signs, and the road appears to be open to the public. It is unclear why such signs are posted, and if they really are for real. There really is nothing but woods along the road. The only oddity is a small section of woods is fenced off with cyclone fencing. Could some government secret be buried beneath the soil? Who knows, all that mattered to HistoricBridges.org is the road provided access to great photos of the bridge.
