Building the Backbone of the New NY Bridge:   

Main Span Bases Rise out of the Hudson


Two enormous structures with bases the size of football fields are rising out of the Hudson River at the New NY Bridge project site. These concrete monoliths are the pile caps that will act as the structural backbone for New York’s largest bridge and highway infrastructure project, distributing the weight of the bridge onto dozens of steel foundation piles.

Over 300,000 cubic yards of concrete will be required to build the New NY Bridge. Transporting that amount of concrete by land would add over 30,000 concrete trucks to local roadways over the next four years. However, Tappan Zee Constructors, LLC (TZC) is implementing a highly efficient and environmentally conscious system that will supply a majority of the project’s concrete without the use of local roads.
