The Tappan Zee Bridge carries the New York State Thruway (Interstates 87 & 287) across the Hudson River 25 miles north of the Empire State Building. The bridge opened on December 15, 1955 and is slightly over three miles long.

  • say goodbye to this bridge the Obama administration will propose emergency spending to build a new bridge starting in August 2012 the total is 5.2 million dollars to replace the bridge

  • @bronsonblack yea, we can only hope! i still doubt that the project will get underway that soon, even with government help though. according to a reliable personnal source, since the project is so massive and expensive, contractors are trying different ways to bid on different sections of the project (in other words, there probably won't be a single general contractor for the whole job as there usually is), which in itself will complicate and delay groundbreaking until a later date...

  • Could the Tappan Zee be an alternate to the GW Bridge?

  • @tpir1972 the bridge and the rest of the 287 corridor in NJ/NY is an alternate for traffic between the mid-Atlantic and New England trying to bypass NYC.
