Construction of the eight sleek, chamfered-designed concrete
towers – four on both the eastbound and westbound spans – began in
the late summer of 2015. The towers will support the 2,230-foot
cable-stayed main span. The Fluor-led project team will install a
total of 192 stay cables ranging in length from 190 feet to 623
feet. Installation began in July 2016 with more than 60 stay cables
anchored and tensioned to date.
“We are making incredible progress on one of the largest and
safest construction projects in the country,” said Terry Towle,
Fluor’s senior vice president and president of Tappan Zee
Constructors, LLC. “This is an exceptionally challenging project.
Everything is being done on a huge scale under extreme conditions
and on tight timeframes. I am proud of the tremendous team we have
working day and night keeping this project on track. Together we
are building an iconic bridge that will serve this community for
generations.”
The 3.1-mile twin span cable-stayed bridge is the single largest
bridge construction project in New York’s history. The bridge will
replace the existing Governor Malcolm Wilson Tappan Zee Toll Bridge
that connects Rockland County to Westchester County over the Hudson
River. Construction is scheduled for completion in 2018.
