The bridge closed in April and reopened in late May before having to close again for repair plans. Residents were forced to pay a toll while the Parkway Bridge was closed.
Now, county officials said the speed limit will be reduced to 25 mph, from 35 mph, on both sides of the bridge.
Speed humps and speed feedback signs will be installed along the roads leading to both bridge approaches to reduce the speed, and regular speed and weight checks will be conducted.
