This little side road also has a wonderful bridge dated 1930.

I stopped and took a break and looked down at my feet and saw this. That concrete looks to be in pretty good shape for being 85 years old. Look how well the letters are formed. I love to find things like this as I travel; really gets me day dreaming. I can just picture someone kneeling down and creating those letters.

The last pic is from Google Earth that shows the old cutoff road with the location (about) of the inscription. Also a nice church and old cemetery right there at the bridge. You miss all this stuff on the superslab.

Looks like Wikipedia has a page about this section of road and it is also on the National Register of Historic Places:
