The bridge, along with the MacKay Bridge, recently had its toll booths and concrete barriers removed as part of the province’s decision to eliminate tolls on the spans.
As well, police said their traffic unit observed a vehicle travelling 119 km/h in a 60 km/h zone on Monday at around 3:30 p.m. on Victoria Road in Dartmouth.
In that incident, a 19-year-old woman was ticketed.
Both drivers had their licences suspended for seven days and had their vehicles seized.
The fine in Nova Scotia for stunting is $2,422.50, and six points are assigned to the driver’s record.
