Pile Driving Resumes Near Salisbury Point for the New Bridge

TZ Constructors will resume pile driving in the Hudson River near Salisbury Point this morning.

South Nyack Village officials said they have been told that monitors will be on site to insure that sound levels do not exceed 90 decibels.

Also this week, according to the New York State Thruway Authority:

Tappan Zee Constructors, LLC (TZC) is remobilizing crews to various operations on the Hudson River during the week of Mar. 16. The work will include installing reinforcing steel (rebar) in the main span pile cap, setting in place pre-cast approach span pile tubs, assembling pier forms and driving foundation piles. The periodic pile driving is restricted to between 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday and noon to 7 p.m., Saturday.

Crews also will continue working on the bridge’s landings on the Rockland and Westchester shorelines. The abutments, comprised of steel and concrete, will serve as strong bases where the new crossing meets the landside roadway.

TZC will continue limited concrete placement for foundations near the South Nyack shoreline. The concrete for this work is being acquired from local concrete suppliers and delivered by truck to the Rockland trestle located off the New York State Thruway’s (I-87/I-287) southbound access ramp. Trucks exit the trestle to the Thruway via the northbound access ramp. The access ramps are used only by construction vehicles, providing a safe route directly to the work site and reducing traffic impacts on local roads.

Additionally, road striping also will require the closure of two lanes of the southbound Thruway from the toll plaza to exit 9 (Tarrytown – Sleepy Hollow – NY Route 9) from 8 p.m. Thursday, Mar. 19 to 5 a.m., Friday, Mar. 20. The work also will necessitate the closure of the southbound exit 9 off-ramp to Route 9 from 11:59 p.m., Thursday, Mar. 19 to 5 a.m., Friday, Mar. 20. Traffic that would otherwise use exit 9 will be detoured to exit 8, as shown:
