Assuming we are talking EB 101 to NB 59. That is mostly reusing the pre-existing ramp. Before all the construction started the NB 59 speed in that section was 80. The ramp was likely designed with that speed in mind, ie less that 100. Either the changes, ie where WB to NB traffic merges in, or other a revaluation of the ramp to current standards likely resulted in lowering the speed. Further, if I remember correctly the old configuration was such that negotiating the bridge safely actually requires a fair bit of a speed drop.
