Tappan Zee Bridge, to be turned into a pedestrian walkway

The 3 mile long bridge, connecting Westchester County to Rockland County is being considered to be turned into a greenway instead of being demolished, said Gov Andrew M Cuomo earlier this week.  It would cost the state $150 million to demolish the 57 year old bridge, so the idea of turning it into a major attraction, "It's an exciting opportunity that we are going to be exploring." said cuomo."We believe an unbiased study will show that it will be less expensive to leave the bridge up than to take it down, and at the same time, you'll be providing a marvelous recreational opportunity with beautiful views of the river," said Tom Abinanti, who represents the district on the east end of the bridge. "Everyone's so focused on economic development, and this would become an attraction and stimulate development," he said.

Construction on the new Tappan Zee could begin this year
