First Tappan Zee Bridge work platform being built  Judy Rife
TARRYTOWN — The first of the temporary work platforms to support
construction of the new Tappan Zee Bridge is being built off the
Westchester County shoreline. The platform, a 1,000-foot-long
trestle, will eventually hold a crane that will be used to build
the easternmost portions of the bridge. It also will reduce the
amount of dredging required and allow crews to work from the
water rather than the shore. None of the work affects bridge
traffic.  Reader Reaction Ads by Google
