Well, I've been on that road, and the reason for that sign is that
the road really does just what the sign looks like.  Depending on
the direction you're traveling, the road passes under the bridge,
loops around, and crosses the bridge it just went under, or...
well, we're all adults here, you can probably figure out the
other possibility.  The fact that the road was constructed that 
way is pretty bizarre, but the sign just accurately represents
what's going on.  Not so bizarre after all.
