Any clues for the water body it crosses?  I'm thinking south this time - more AL/MS.

I cannot really give clues on that, as it is a fairly small body of water. It is a flood plain for a larger river though.

I will take a wild stab and say US-378/SC-41 over the Pee Dee River west of Conway, SC.  I remember crossing a long 2-lane bridge en-route to Myrtle Beach and this photo reminds me of it.

EDIT:  It is a wrong answer, but here is where I thought it was:

This bridge is fairly short, and is in the Central Time Zone.

Here's my closest guess: US-60 over Clover Creek near Cloverport, KY: https://www.google.ca/maps/@37.828448,-86.621635,3a,75y,238.34h,77.11t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s3a9xxFe7cMEvaOpcCAT9XA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656
Getting warmer, but wrong road.
What other hints have ya got?   ...and I would like to take this time to complain that the new Google Maps continues to suck the fun out of finding where Steve is at by running molasses slow and missing useful features.  But I digress..

I said getting warmer, wrong road, but not wrong state or river.

For a fresh hint, It is definitevely in the CDT part of the state. It's not far from the border of another state, this road is not in the state for a ton of time, and it has less lanes than it does when it leaves the state.

Sometimes i feel like a nut when i do these, sometimes i don't.

That definitely helped.

Also, what really helped was noticing something faintly seen in the picture: a DOT weather station.  Using a website Kentucky has regarding their weather station locations, it was a match.  I still wasn't completely convinced though because of the single-side passing zone, until I travelled further back and zoomed in.  The treeline seemed to match fairly closely as well, along with the placement of the sign on the side of the road. 

Between all of that, I figured it had to be the match.

It's some place in the northern states that uses embedded reflectors and high mast lighting, but not Illinois.  This places it in the Midwest somewhere.

But not too far north, because the trees are deciduous.

Definitely Ohio, as they are the state that uses those Black & White accident signs.  I will take a stab and say that that is I-475/US-23 between Central Ave (US-20/SR-120) and Airport Highway (SR-2) in West Toledo.

I GSVed both directions of that as soon as you posted and it looked extremely similar but I could not for the life of me find those Black and White accident signs.

I have finally achieved true road geekdom!!! C9nsidering it's been well over 15 years since i was on that stretch of road -- pre accident signs.  I did live there in the 80s, and it hasn't changed much.

Would I be correct in assuming that's Trenton in the background? Because if so, I'm going with PA 32 near Morrisville, PA.

Yep: https://goo.gl/maps/ULs9x

The low building is the Trenton Water Works.  The closer tall building is on West State Street in Trenton, and is an apartment tower.  The further-away tall building is on the SE corner of Calhoun & West State.  It was first built as a Holiday Inn, I believe.  In it's more current life, it served as some state offices, although I'm not sure if there's any current use of those offices.  On the 1st floor with access to the sidewalk, there's a small deli.

Yep, the tower and the waterworks building was the dead giveaway as well as having driven that road countless times. Plus I know Trenton like the back of my hand.
