The New York State Thruway Authority today announced that routine repairs on the Tappan Zee Bridge will continue on Monday, November 23, through Tuesday, November 24, during off-peak travel times, weather permitting.
The Tappan Zee Bridge was built in 1955 and is more than three miles long. The 50-year-old bridge currently requires ongoing maintenance activities. Routine bridge maintenance is done to ensure the safety of Thruway travelers.
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 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and overnight when possible.
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.
Next week’s tentative lane closure schedule below does not include any emergency work that may arise, and is subject to change depending on traffic patterns and inclement weather.
Monday, November 23: Left lane southbound closed for bridge maintenance beginning at milepost 16.2 to 13.1, between 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Tuesday, November 24: Right lane southbound closed for bridge maintenance beginning at milepost 15.0 to 13.1, between 9:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.
Wednesday, November 25: No maintenance scheduled
Thursday, November 26: No maintenance scheduled
Friday, November 27: No maintenance scheduled
The public is also notified on Tappan Zee Bridge repairs and lane closures via Dynamic Message Signs (DMS) and Highway Advisory Radio (HAR). In the Tappan Zee Bridge Corridor, HAR can be heard on station 530 AM.
