Work Continues On Shared-Use Path For Mario Cuomo Bridge
Separated from traffic by a concrete barrier, the path will feature six scenic overlooks across the length of the Mario Cuomo Bridge.
NYACK, NY — TZC continues to install rebar, pour concrete and strip forms for the bridge’s shared-use bicycle/pedestrian path, barrier and overlooks.
The 12-foot wide path is located on the northern side of the westbound span of the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge. Separated from traffic by a concrete barrier, the path will also feature six scenic overlooks across the length of the 3.1-mile crossing of the Tappan Zee. It is due to be completed in 2019.
At the Rockland Landing, a section of the Esposito Trail from Clinton Avenue and South Franklin Street to South Nyack Village Hall remains closed for the construction of the side path. Pedestrians and cyclists are being detoured to South Broadway and through Elizabeth Place Park.

Crews will continue construction of a retaining wall along Hillside Avenue, necessitating temporary lane closures. Flag persons will keep traffic moving by alternating the directional flow between east and west. Crews also are constructing a highway noise barrier at Elizabeth Place Park.
