The westbound bridge will remain in a temporary configuration
while crews complete the bridge’s shared-use path connecting
Westchester (New York) and Rockland (New York) counties for
pedestrians and cyclists.
“Fluor is honored to have been the lead design-builder for this
project,” said Terence Easton, president of Fluor’s infrastructure
business line. “We are proud of the team that delivered the
Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge to New York. This is a landmark
project that provides a vital link to the region and improves daily
commerce.”
The New York State Thruway Authority, in partnership with the
Fluor-led joint venture of Tappan Zee Constructors, LLC – comprised
of American Bridge Company, Granite Construction Northeast, Inc.
and Taylor Bros., Inc. – replaced the old bridge with a new
3.1-mile state-of-the-art, twin-span, cable-stayed bridge crossing
the Hudson River between Westchester and Rockland counties. The
cable-stayed main span is supported by eight 419-foot towers, which
stand at five-degree angles and feature a sleek, chamfered design.
The iconic towers support 192 stay cables, which are made up of
roughly 4,900 miles of steel strands.
The Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge is one of the largest single
design-build contracts for a transportation project in the United
States and is the largest bridge project in New York state
history.
