It is a road that dips down slightly so the water can run over it, then rises back up a bit on the other side. That might be the same as you are describing. Like a spillway, but there is no dam under it. There should be signs there to warn motorcyles and bicycles.
There is another one at a nearby state park, but it stays dry unless it has rained, so algae doesn't have a chance to grow. Yeah, a low water bridge, I think so.

Now my right ankle and hip are starting to mildly ache, I will be sore tomorrow. Forty years ago this wouldn't have bothered me.
