Tappan Zee Bridge $5B Greenlight
I-87 and I-287 will never be the same.
NYACK, NY – A recent environmental study commissioned by the state allegedly confirms that the replacement of the Tappan Zee Bridge will cause no environmental harm. That was the last remaining obstacle to commence construction which could quite possibly begin as early as August. After being fast tracked to priority status by the Obama administration (downsizing Governor Cuomo’s original proposition), an estimate of 4 to 5 1/2 years, $3.5 to $5 billion dollars, the creation of 2,000 jobs, and nine local home acquisitions by the state, it’s official that the landmark bridge which opened in 1955 will be rebuilt.
At least say where you’d prefer the money to go, what would you spend it on?
Cuomo was desperate to leave his mark, we don’t need a new bridge or the other road projects he’s spent over 15 billion on, waste of money right now! Priorities!

I’m happy they’ll be adding jobs to our economy but 5 billion dollars??!
