Tappan Zee Bridge repairs to continue

ALBANY - The New York State Thruway Authority announced that routine repairs on the Tappan Zee Bridge will continue on Monday, March 24, through Friday, March 28, during off-peak travel times.

In an effort to provide the best possible customer service to New York’s travelers and commuters, the Authority will continue to schedule repairs during off-peak travel times, between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, and overnight when possible. The Authority spends approximately $5 million annually on routine maintenance to the bridge.

The length of each closure varies throughout the day, but rarely extends more than one-tenth of a mile past the end of the bridge.
