Lanes to Close for Overnight Work on Tappan Zee Bridge

It’s going to get tricky crossing the Tappan Zee Bridge at the end of April.

That is when the Thruway Authority will be closing three of the span’s four northbound lanes during the overnight and morning hours the weekend of April 29.

According to a release from the authority, work is scheduled from Friday, April 29 beginning at 9 p.m. until Saturday, April 30 at 2 p.m. It will continue Saturday, April 30 starting at 9 p.m. and will continue until Sunday, May 1 at 2 p.m.

All three lanes in the southbound direction will remain open on the bridge during the entire weekend.

In case of inclement weather, work will be postponed until Friday, May 6 at 9 p.m. with completion by Saturday, May 7 at 2 p.m.

The Thruway Authority is strongly advising motorists to avoid travel in this area during the scheduled work times.

Pier foundation work near the Rockland shoreline being done at that time will necessitate pile driving during the nighttime hours.

As a result, the Thruway Authority is offering to reimburse hotel expenses for Rockland residents within the zone for noise and vibration, according to lohud.com.
