Albany, NY - The New York State Thruway Authority announced that routine repairs on the Tappan Zee Bridge will continue on Tuesday, September 2 through Friday, September 5, during off-peak travel times.  There will be no scheduled maintenance activity on Monday, September 1 due to the Labor Day holiday.

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 Authority spends approximately $5 million annually on routine maintenance to the bridge.

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, September 1: No scheduled maintenance activity due to the Labor Day holiday.
    * Tuesday, September 2: Right lane northbound closed for bridge maintenance beginning at milepost 13.1 to 16.1, between 9:30 a.m. and 2:45 p.m.
    * Wednesday, September 3: Right lane southbound closed for bridge maintenance beginning at milepost 16.1 to 13.1, between 9:30 a.m. and 2:45 p.m.
    * Thursday, September 4: Right lane southbound closed for bridge maintenance beginning at milepost 16.1 to 13.1, between 9:30 a.m. and 2:45 p.m.
    * Friday, September 5: Right lane southbound closed for bridge maintenance beginning at milepost 16.1 to 13.1, between 9:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.

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.

When will we hear anything about the NEW Bridge proposal. It seems like this has been swept under the carpet. Are there any plans for a NEW Tappan Zee Bridge NOW?

I am amazed that the powers that be have not decided on the location of the Train Bridge. They havent decided if the Train will be north or south of the newly constructed bridge. They havent decided if the train bridge will be underneath the new bridge.

I am still wondering how the traffic and the village will be affected when the new TRAFFIC Circle will be constructed at the intersection of rte 119 and rte 9. We will see. How much noise will the local residents be able to tolerate? These answers will be forthcoming.
