Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge
A project is currently underway to finish construction on the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge, a replacement for the Tappan Zee Bridge. The New NY Bridge project website provides additional details and information.
The County of Rockland was actively involved in several aspects of the State project to construct the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge, a new bridge to replace the Tappan Zee Bridge. As a member of the Selection Committee that recommended the winning proposal for the bridge design, the County was able to ensure that Rockland residents and our region's travelers received the best value option.
The County also played a role in ensuring that the bridge will be aesthetically pleasing through its membership on the project's Visual Quality Panel. In addition, the County was a member of the bridge project's Mass Transit Task Force, which explored ways to ensure that public transportation is incorporated into the final bridge project.
Following the completion of the Mass Transit Task Force activities, the State announced plans for a new bus service - the Lower Hudson Transit Link - which replaced the existing TAPPAN ZEExpress bus service at bridge opening in 2018.
