Cuomo Bridge is three-mile state-of-the-art, twin-span crossing connecting Rockland and Westchester counties. Located less than 20 miles north of New York City, the cable-stayed span crosses one of the widest parts of the Hudson River and is the longest bridge in New York State.
The Landing features a Welcome Center, public art , and an interactive kiosk shown to learn more about local restaurants and attractions. The 20 deck truss approach spans were constructed at an on-land yard facility and floated into place. Each span was about feet long by 64 feet wide by 26 feet deep and weighed tons. The Tappan Zee Bridge was a total 48, tons. This bridge is a 2, foot cantilevered truss that carries seven lanes of traffic across the Hudson River in New York City.
Of the seven lanes, the middle lane has the ability to switch directions depending on traffic needs. The bridge was designed to carry , vehicles per day, however traffic volumes have grown to about , per day making the need for the new bridge apparent; even with the extra adaptable lane traffic still occurs frequently as it is one of the primary crossings of the Hudson River for residents, commuters, and travelers. The bridge features parallel 3-mile structures, each with a 2,foot cable-stayed main span and 10 five-span continuous approach units comprised of foot steel girder spans.
The bridge provides eight general traffic lanes, plus dedicated bus lanes and shoulders for emergency access. New tolling facilities with all-electronic toll collection have been implemented. In addition to accommodating vehicular traffic, the new crossing includes a shared-use path dedicated bicycle and pedestrian on the northern span, with six scenic overlooks. The project team followed strict environmental performance commitments to protect the Hudson River estuary.
State-of-the-art environmental monitoring stations were installed near both the Rockland and Westchester shorelines. This equipment allowed the team to monitor, minimize and mitigate potential adverse effects from construction noise, vibration and air quality.
The new landmark crossing also led to the relocation, demolition and consolidation of 36 existing facilities associated with the bridge into two new multistory buildings: one a New York State Thruway Authority maintenance facility and the other a facility for New York State Police.
