I figured with a two-lane thru truss on a county road, that would be a real possibility.

Thanks for clearing this up. The bridge seems a lot less out of place now!

According to Google Earth, this road is on old IN 303.

Looks like a state highway Parker truss. There's one like that in Decatur County that's on an old alignment of US421. Maybe that road is a decommissioned state road, as there are actually quite a few of them.
