Two large barge-mounted cranes that will be used to place permanent piles for the substructure of the new Tappan Zee Bridge will be assembled and moored in the Hudson River until the test pile operations begin in mid-July. The cranes will be moored on the north side of the bridge closer to the Rockland County side of the river.
Work will also begin next week on the Thruway Authority’s Rockland bulkhead area located on River Road in South Nyack. Work includes clearing of the site and construction of a large bulkhead that will be used for staging of equipment.
Test borings have been completed just north of the current bridge as preliminary work proceeds on the new twin-span structure to be built adjacent to it.
