Name That Bird!:    
New Tappan Zee Falcon Hatchling Debuted on April 10
The pair of peregrine falcons that live in a man-made nest box on the existing Tappan Zee Bridge became proud parents once again with the hatching of a nestling on April 10.
The New NY Bridge project team is inviting members of the public to help name the new falcon chick. 
A week-long naming contest is now underway on the project's Falcon Cam webpage. Rockland and Westchester students came up with the names.
Life in the Fast Lane: 

On Sunday April 24, travelers on the Tappan Zee Bridge said goodbye to the lines at the Tarrytown toll plaza thanks to cashless tolling. The state-of-the-art technology created a new traffic pattern in the area, eliminating the need for toll booths and speeding commutes across the river.
 
Across the Zee:
Rows of towering piers stand in procession across the Hudson River as the New NY Bridge project steadily moves ahead.       
 
Pier to Pier: 

Years of hard work and careful planning on the New NY Bridge project are paying off as Tappan Zee Constructors recorded several construction milestones.
 
Steely Progress:
Workers on the New NY Bridge project are making swift progress installing steel girders thanks, in part, to recent good weather.        
 
Frequently Asked Questions
Q:
What is Cashless Tolling?    
A:
The new cashless tolling system allows motorists to pay their toll while maintaining highway speeds on the Tappan Zee Bridge. The system collects tolls via E-ZPass and Tolls by Mail, detecting classes of vehicles and applying the correct charge.
If you have E-ZPass, your toll is collected using the same process that you are already familiar with. If you don't have E-ZPass, cameras photograph your vehicle's license plate as it passes under the overhead equipment. A bill is then automatically sent to the registered owner by U.S. Mail.
