I live near the Tappan Zee bridge. It was built in 1955, to last 50 years (until 2005). They never expected it to handle the amount of traffic it currently gets.
Would be nice to build a new bridge to replace it, before it falls down.
Like this? It would be nice to have a new bridge, I too cross it rather frequently. I'd also like a couple bridges from LI to the mainland to alleviate traffic (it's the only way to get from LI to the rest of the country), but then again I get off on large infranstructure projects.
Basically, I agree with the idea. We need to get things done. But we also need to bring construction costs down. Why are they so high in the first place?
