Zee Bridge
Construction and Design
By: Sotiria Andrianos
Tappan Zee
Construction
The Tappan Zee was made to help reduce traffic in New York
The project proved successful, however it has now grown to transport 138,000
vehicles a day
The bridge was not built to support the amount of weight that it now carries
Has a high car accident rate because of traffic combined with narrow lanes
It will cost nearly 4 billion dollars to rebuild which is coming out of taxpayers
paychecks
New construction means a lot of dust adding to pollution and angering people who
live close to the bridge
New bridge will have higher tolls
Current pollution prevention on the Hudson River isnt up to code with federal
permit requirements meaning even more pollution in our rivers
Dredging will affect life on the riverbed
Building of a new bridge will be loud, disturbing any organisms near the
construction site
