- The Tappan Zee Bridge, officially named the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge, is a twin cable-stayed bridge spanning the Hudson River between Tarrytown and Nyack in the U.S. state of New York. It was built to replace the original Tappan Zee Bridge, which was located just to the south. The new bridge carries the automobile traffic of the New York State Thruway, Interstate 87 and Interstate 287; it also carries a shared use path for bicycles and pedestrians. The construction cost is $3.9 billion.
A cable-stayed bridge has one or more towers, from which cables support the bridge deck. A distinctive feature are the cables or stays, which run directly from the tower to the deck. This is in contrast to the modern suspension bridge, where the cables supporting the deck are suspended vertically from the main cable, anchored at both ends of the bridge and running between the towers. The cable-stayed bridge is optimal for spans longer than cantilever bridges and shorter than suspension bridges. This is the range within which cantilever bridges would rapidly grow heavier, and suspension bridge cabling would be more costly.
The Tappan Zee river crossing was named by 17th century Dutch settlers. The original Tappan Zee Bridge was a cantilever bridge built from 1952 to 1955. The bridge was 3 miles (4.8 km) long and spanned the Hudson at its second-widest point. It was the longest bridge in New York State. The bridge had a low construction budget of only $81 million and a designed life-span of only 50 years.
The new Tappan Zee Bridge was built from 2013 to 2018. It is composed of two cable-stayed decks and has a total length of 3.1 miles (5.0 km). The main span is 1200 ft (370 m) and is approached on either side by 515-foot-long (157 m) side spans. Each deck carries four lanes of traffic in one direction, plus inner and outer shoulders. The clearance below is 139 ft (42 m). Upon completion, the new Tappan Zee Bridge became one of the widest cable-stayed bridges in the world, having a combined width across both decks of 183 feet (56 m).
As of August 2021, Car drivers pay $5.25 with a New York-issued E-ZPass, or $6.04 with an out-of-state E-ZPass. Tolls are collected in the eastbound direction only.

From Wikipedia:
The Tappan Zee Bridge, officially named the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge, is a twin cable-stayed bridge spanning the Hudson River between Tarrytown and Nyack in the U.S. state of New York. It was built to replace the original Tappan Zee Bridge, which was located just to the south. The new bridge's north span carries the northbound and westbound automobile traffic of the New York State Thruway, Interstate 87 (I-87) and I-287; it also carries a shared use path for bicycles and pedestrians. The south span carries southbound and eastbound automobile traffic.
The process to replace the original bridge kicked off in 2012, with construction on the new spans beginning by contractor Tappan Zee Constructors in 2013. The Left Coast Lifter (one of the world's biggest cranes) was instrumental in the construction of the bridge. The north span officially opened to westbound traffic on August 26, 2017, and eastbound traffic temporarily began using the north span on October 6, 2017. Contractors then began demolishing the old bridge. An opening ceremony for the south span was held on September 7, 2018, and traffic started using the new span three days later.
The bridge's official name, commemorating former New York Governor Mario Cuomo, has been controversial since its announcement. A petition and several pieces of proposed legislation have sought to restore the bridge's name to that of its predecessor.

Tappan Zee Bridge Explosive Demolition Jan 15 2019
They took down the eastern trestle section with explosives at 10:47 this morning. This section was supposed to be taken down piece by piece like the rest of the bridge but it became unstable and had to be taken down this way instead. There is one piece still standing- the western trestle. That is going to be taken down in pieces now that this part has been removed.

Last Ride on the Old Tappan Zee
Opened on December 15, 1955, the Tappan Zee Bridge was one of the primary crossings of the Hudson River north of New York City; it carried much of the traffic between southern New England and points west of the Hudson. The bridge was the longest bridge in New York State, a title retained by its replacement. The total length of the bridge approached 16,013 feet (3.0328 mi; 4,881 m). The cantilever span was 1,212 feet (369 m), which provided a maximum clearance of 138 feet (42 m) over the water.[2] The bridge was officially named after former governor Malcolm Wilson in 1994, though the original name continued to be used.
The Tappan Zee Bridge was part of the New York State Thruway mainline and carried the highway concurrency of Interstate 87 and Interstate 287. The span carried seven lanes of motor traffic. The center lane was able to be switched between eastbound and westbound traffic depending on the prevalent commuter direction; on weekdays the center lane was eastbound in the morning and westbound in the evening. The switch was accomplished via a movable center barrier which was moved by a pair of barrier transfer machines. Even with the switchable lane, traffic was frequently very slow.
In 2013, federal and state authorities started constructing a replacement bridge at a cost of at least $4 billion. All traffic was shifted to the new bridge on October 6, 2017, and demolition of the old bridge began soon afterward. The eastern half of the bridge was demolished in a controlled demolition on January 15, 2019, while the western half was lowered onto a barge and hauled away in May 2019.

After large portions of the Tappan Zee Bridge in New York became unsafe for construction teams to take them apart manually, explosives were used on the legs of the bridge to safely drop it into the Hudson River. This is my footage.

TAPPAN ZEE BRIDGE OVER THE HUDSON RIVER; A Tale of Three Bridges
After delivering beans to York, Pennsylvania, I didn't record much video over the next several days.
I don't remember why, but I did record our drive across the Tappan Zee Bridge over the Hudson River in New York; eastbound first, then westbound a couple of days later.
Then a few days after that, I recorded crossing the Hudson River again; this time, over the Hamilton-Fish Newburgh Beacon Bridge which is about 30 miles north of the Tappan Zee Bridge.
The Governor Malcolm Wilson–Tappan Zee Bridge, or just Tappan Zee Bridge, was completed in 1955.
The bridge is slightly more than three miles long and spans the Hudson River in New York between South Nyack and Tarrytown.
A new Tappan Zee Bridge has been under construction since 2013. The new bridge is a double-span bridge located just north of the existing bridge. The northern, or westbound span opened in August 2017.
The southern, or eastbound span is scheduled to open later in the year.
