Tappan Zee Bridge, Road bridge in South Nyack, United States
The Tappan Zee Bridge extends 4,881 meters across the Hudson River, connecting the communities of South Nyack and Tarrytown in New York State.
Construction of the bridge began in 1952 and concluded on December 15, 1955, establishing a vital transportation link in the New York metropolitan area.
The bridge structure exemplifies mid-20th century American engineering, demonstrating the technical capabilities of post-war infrastructure development.
Motorists paid tolls to cross this steel structure, which carried substantial daily traffic volumes until its closure and replacement in 2017.
The main span of 369 meters represented a significant engineering achievement for cantilever bridge construction in the 1950s.
