Tappan Zee Bridge: Stay cable installation done on new westbound span
Matt Coyne, Lohud.com
Quote:
Crews have finished installing the stay cables on the westbound span of the new Tappan Zee Bridge, the first portion of the bridge set to open later this year.
The last of the 96 stay cables, the long metal strands hung off the new bridge's main span towers to suspend the road deck over the deepest part of the Hudson River, was installed last week on the Rockland-bound span, leaving a small gap in the main span.
The Thruway Authority says that gap will be filled in with structural steel "in the coming weeks."
Once that is done, there will be an uninterrupted structure running from Tarrytown over the Hudson River to South Nyack.
