The Black River Bridge on Highway 63 in Black Rock has had the speed limit raised.
This week ARDOT installed new signage on the bridge raising the speed limit from 45 mph on the bridge to 55 mph.
Travelers heading south out of Black Rock will notice the new 55 mph Speed Limit sign as soon as they get on the bridge, the 55 mph extends to the bottom of the bridge in the southbound lanes until it increases to 60 mph.
Northbound lanes will notice new 55 mph Speed Limit signs all the way to the top of the bridge where the speeds drop to 45 mph as the two northbound lanes merge into a single lane.
Speeds through Black Rock remain 45 mph through much of the city.
