$36.68 to cross the Governor Mario M Cuomo Bridge in my Sprinter van! I didn't want to buy the damned thing; I just wanted to drive across it! This may be reasonable if my fillings weren't already loosened from the highway both before and after crossing. The roadway is riddled with potholes and seam bumps. Perhaps the cost of a steak dinner would be justified by the cost of good roads. On my 2000-mile journey from North Carolina to Massachusetts, however, the roads in Rochester and Westchester are among the worst I encountered. I-287 rated one star in https://www.yelp.com/biz/interstate-287-tarrytown?hrid=m0TRxKKllKLpBqlatt-4Lw. On this same trip, I crossed the Henry Hudson Bridge (a much more reasonable $8.25) and the Pell Bridge in Rhode Island (practically free at $4.00). Even my time on the New Jersey and Massachusetts Turnpikes didn't cost as much as the 4 miles of the Mario M Cuomo Bridge! Next time, I will drive the extra 20 miles to take the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge because not only is it only $2, they only charge it eastbound.

This will always be the Tappan Zee Bridge to me and many other New Yorkers. Not only have I driven across it I've also run a half marathon up to it when up in Sleep Hallow/Tarrytown. The bridge was renovated and improved and has a terrific look to it, especially when lit up at night. The bridge has a pedestrian and bike path which makes it safe for runners and the views are great. I think it's about a 5K trek from one side to the other. Definitely a nice route to take on for a training session. read more

Modern bridge with spaced out lanes! I hate bridges with close lanes, it gives me anxiety when driving but this was made with extra lanes and there's enough space to feel like you aren't stuck in traffic or overlapping on to the next lane. It also looks so beautiful at night. This is only about 45 mins from me in the Bronx and i take this bridge to go to the palisades mall and Rockland state park. read more

I think that it is listed as a Historic Building... Yet it is 5 years old lol! They built this new bridge next to the old one and ket me tell you, this is how you do it! It used to be 3/4 lanes each direction depending on the time of day, now it's 5 lanes, with a bus lane and a shoulder each side. Plus they built it strong enough to add a rail level under it if they wanted to in the future. I very rarely have traffic on here. At night sometimes on the way home it's a tad bit slow... but more manageable than the gw... The lanes are wider and traffic flows much nicer! I just miss the old ezpass price of like 2.75 and cash being like 5 but now it's 8 and 12... still not as bad as the gw! Now they have to do something about the trucks and it will be 1000x better read more

Passed through on way to/back New York. No traffic and a nice smooth ride over. One of the easiest trips using a bridge I've had.

Today was my first run across the MMC bridge! My gf, son and I, met up with some local running groups and set out for a 6+ mile run in preparation for the NYC half next weekend. We met up at the Tarrytown side of the bridge and began our run. There was ample parking, a nearby gas station, and a clean bathroom, all accessible to us. We ran on the pedestrian/bike path with views to our east. To our west, were the cars, traveling northbound. The length of the bridge to the other station was about 3.3 miles. We reached the other side, rested and headed back. You can go even further if you follow the Rockland Cty path towards the right, at the other end of the bridge. In all, we did a little over 7 miles which was a perfect end of week, ahead of our big race. It was windy during this time of year but we felt great afterwards. There are many cyclists, runners and people walking. I felt very safe and I've wanted to run this bridge for a long time. Very happy I finally got the chance. We will definitely be back. read more

Writing a Yelp review on a bridge is educational for me. I have knowledge and history when it comes to bridges. My father was a civil engineer, and he had an extensive background in architectural structures of bridges. When I was young, I worked as a mechanical renderer part time for him and absorbed a lot. When you cross any bridge, I doubt many of you think about the structural integrity of the bridge and whether it is dangerous river crossing. There is a particularly good reason the Tappan Zee bridge was replaced by a modern safer structure. I call it a message that sunk into the right people minds. From what I read; the message might have been the collapse of the Minnesota I-35W Mississippi River Bridge. The structural integrity of the Tappan Zee bridge was in question. I am guessing that many other bridges crossing structural reliability can be compromised in years to come if our country does not invest in upgrading our infrastructure. I am one not in agreement with the name change of the bridge. History tells us that the Tappan Zee bridge was named after 17th century Dutch settlers. This was my first crossing of the new Cuomo Bridge, and I am happy to say that I enjoyed the view and the safe ride across the Hudson River. read more

Governor Mario M Cuomo Bridge - Landmarks & Historical Buildings Near Me - Tarrytown, New York

Tappan Zee Bridge it is and will always be. The first bridge was built in 1955 using a bare bones budget with a life expectancy of about 50 years. When the new bridge was built the governor of New York named it after his father. The name definitely hasn't stuck. The times I've traveled both bridges during my 76 years is beyond my imagination. I've been photographing bridges for a while now but I wasn't at that time. The new bridge is absolutely beautiful and feels very safe. You can bet if I pass this way again I'll take lots of photos. I'm recommending you read my friend Andrew's review. I really appreciate his friendship and he did a beautiful review!! Thanks Andrew....... read more

Fully opened to traffic in 2018, the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge is three-mile state-of-the-art, twin-span crossing connecting Rockland and Westchester counties. Located less than 20 miles north of New York City, the cable-stayed span crosses one of the widest parts of the Hudson River and is the longest bridge in New York State. The bridge features the longest shared bicycle/pedestrian path in the nation. We took this bridge as we bypassed the New York city area on our way from Florida to Rhode Island. We found this route much less hectic and quicker than taking the George Washington bridge (closer to the city). The Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge Path welcomes runners, bikers, walkers, and commuters alike. If you are visiting the bridge and not just driving through it, you might want to know that the 12-foot wide shared use path is located on the northern side of the westbound span and features six scenic overlooks, interpretive displays, and public art across its length. I have seen pictures of the bridge at night and the LEDs they have make this a beautiful sight !!!! read more

As others have mentioned in these reviews and elsewhere, this recently rebuilt structure is, and always will be, Tappen Zee Bridge. So it is for me although...realistically...I didn't grow up with this bridge stamped indelibly into my psyche, the way the Mid-Hudson Bridge is (I've written a review on that bridge, for those who might be interested), or the Newburgh Bridge (which I will, at some point, have to write a review about). Those were bridges I traveled over with my family repeatedly in the days when my earliest memories were being formed, over and back over during the length of my childhood, and on into my teenaged years. Those memories are the ones that remain with me and will probably still be with me when I'm drooling and senile (one of my clearest early memories is of my Dad driving towards the Newburgh Bridge from CT. as night was falling, Mom and Sis fast asleep in the back, passing Fishkill Prison which I thought looked like a magnificently majestic castle I would have liked to live in, while "Puff the Magic Dragon" was playing on the car radio; one of those random moments in life that gets frozen solid in time without the benefit of photography). I don't remember traveling over the Tappen Zee Bridge as a kid. It wasn't until I was in my young manhood that I actually began to utilize it, so it wasn't a matter of "tradition outraged" to me when it was re-named after Mario Cuomo (I'd probably lose my shite were they to re-name the Mid-Hudson Bridge the Kathy Hochul Bridge, or the Newburgh Bridge the Carmine DeSapio Bridge). But during the time I first started to drive on it during my various "road trips" around Westchester County and the Hudson Valley, or into New England, it was Tappen Zee...and so it remains, to my mind, and the minds of innumerable others, obviously. There was a time I was hanging out a lot in Nyack, and sometimes, often on a quiet summer afternoon, I'd park on the top of historic Oak Hill Cemetery (supposedly haunted, although I never noticed any ghosts lingering around), which affords a wonderful all-encompassing view of the Bridge, and contemplate the strange beauty of traffic on the bridge winding its slow, snake-like passage over the shimmering Hudson River, as well as the impressive landscape beyond. One time, I crossed the Bridge with friends, and we explored Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Tarrytown, as well as Lyndhurst, the sprawling old Jay Gould estate (which, for those interested in obscure information, served as the location for the 2 "Dark Shadows" films that were made in the early 70s). Later, after I re-united with my genetic family, I brought my birth mother and grandmother here too, as part of our "bonding" process. They appreciated the history and exquisite beauty of the area as much as I did. For me, the Tappen Zee was the "gateway" to the Hudson Valley, which is, and remains, one of my favorite places on earth. Crossing over the bridge, I'd look north into the hazy mountainous distance, and think, "This is where Henry Hudson passed through on his way up to Poughkeepsie and beyond." On 1 side of the bridge, I could drive up twisting Rt. 9W through Haverstraw into Stony Point and towards West Point and beyond, with numerous picturesque perspectives of the Hudson River. Or I could cross over into Westchester and drive up Rt 9 through Tarrytown into Ossining and Peekskill, through Putnam and Dutchess Counties, upward and onward into the green tranquility of upper upstate NY, and the Adirondacks. Or I'd stay on the Cross Westchester Expressway to Rt. 95, which I'd often take up to Providence and Newport, Rhode Island, or even to Boston (I'm ashamed to confess this, but on 1 trip back from Boston long, long ago with my oldest friend, I was under the influence of opiates...in my stupidity, I never thought of that as being impaired or "drunk" driving...and it was like driving home on a magic carpet of euphoric bliss. Stupidity or obtuseness is no excuse, but I'd like to state for the record that I've long since given up the opiates and engaging in such recklessly dangerous and irresponsible behavior). More often, I'd travel by myself (I'd justify these extended trips as "psychic battery charging") but still on occasion with interested and/or indulgent friends. Speaking of the re-union with my genetic family, I now have 2 brothers living in Ct., and also had a maternal great aunt living in Cape Cod, and traveling back and forth over the Tappen Zee became and still is a pleasurable routine. I well understand the need for re-construction of these aging structural marvels, although the idea of re-naming them after transitory political people leaves me cold (although that practice is not so egregious to me as replacing people's names with the names of corporations/banks/etc.). Still, I think for most people with any reverence for this bridge, or who have any extended history with it, or good memories, it is and will remain Tappan Zee. Which is as it should be. read more

"Always Love" going over the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge. It's always a smooth ride over the bridge. As many people know, it previously was the Tappan Zee Bridge. Interesting Facts from the website: mariocuomobridge .ny.gov -The bridge features the longest shared bicycle/pedestrian path in the nation. -Longest bridge in NY State. -In addition, the bridge is illuminated with color to commemorate important events. Most of the time, I've been the car as a passenger. It gives me the opportunity of taking wonderful photos and videos of the bridge. Anytime of the day or night, the bridge's architectural design is simply magnificent!!!!! Check out the above website for more interesting bridge facts! read more

Beautiful design of the new Mario Cuomo Bridge named after the former governor of New York State, 1983 through 1994, (father of the notorious Andrew and Chris Cuomo brothers in the news). Most New Yorkers still call it by the original name, Tappan Zee Bridge, like I do. There's a petition out. It's wonderful to see it lit up at night in a very wide spectrum of colours in celebration of our lives and times. The bridge can be accessed on foot and by bicycle as well as driving connecting Tarrytown (east) to Nyack (west). Fact: *It is the longest state-of-the-art bridge crossing the widest stretch of the Hudson River at 3 miles in each direction.* read more

Nothing against former NYS Governor Mario Cuomo (a man whose intellect I greatly admired) but the bridge that your son twisted countless arms in the NYS Legislature to build and rename will never be anything but the Tappan Zee Bridge. No one I know has ever called it anything else. In many respects the new "Tappan Zee" is the NYS government in microcosm - dubious funding pushed through at the 11th hour with billions in subsequent cost overruns and completion dates elongated by a decade. The new bridge is certainly swell (seriously, it's beautiful) but given its origin maybe the span is named after the wrong Cuomo and should rightfully be a monument to Mario's autocratic son Andrew, who as governor pushed the project through and resigned under a cloud. Or, NYS could just wake up, yield to common sense and rechristen it the Tappan Zee Bridge. Common sense from government? Not in my lifetime. read more

Definitely try the bike path. 3.6 miles each way on a beautiful sunny day is perfect. There is a QR code for an audio tour as you either walk or bike the path with historic information. On either side of the bridge are bathrooms and vending machines with water and snacks. This is a great way to workout. Parking is free but limited. read more

Love the new bridge .. tolls are high, but we don't pass through this bridge much .. it feels goood to pass through this .. very New Yorkish .it's just crazy during peak times though .

My dad recommended I ride my bike on this bridge since it replaced the Tappan Zee Bridge. It's about 3.5 miles each way. It's a beautiful, sturdy bridge. There are tons of signs in NJ and in NY. There are a few places to stop and view the Hudson along the way. There's also some pictures that show the history of the bridges in that area. I don't really think putting my bike in my bike rack for the purpose of checking out the bridge was worth it. I think I may have preferred the walkway to be on the other side of the bridge for a view of the city, although the sight of the NJ cliffs and Hudson is very beautiful. Of course If you live in the area and want to go for a ride or go to NY and save on the toll, check it out. Once you get tot Tarrytown, check out the walkway North of the bridge. read more

One of the most anticipated features of the new Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge was the opening of the bike and pedestrian path. Not only does this provide a non-motorized way to cross the Hudson River, but it also aims to serve as a source of recreation for residents on both sides of the river. Since walking in my main mode of exercise, I really wanted to check the path out; since it was such a nice day and I had nothing pressing to do, I figured I would take a little walk. Quick backstory: from 1955 to 2017, Westchester and Rockland were connected by the Tappan Zee Bridge. While for most of its history it was fine, it was really only designed to last around 50 years; that combined with the aging infrastructure and the sheer amount of cars that cross the bridge every day really made a case to replace the bridge. Eventually the new bridge had started construction along side the Tappan Zee, and by the end of 2018 it was fully functional. The new bridge was named after Mario Cuomo, who was the governor of New York from 1983 to 1994. There are a lot of polarizing opinions of the new bridge - mostly around the naming of it - but for the most part it has been well received. I find the architecture to be interesting and it can even illuminate different colors at night. I digress though, we're here to talk about the Path. While the bridge is already a couple of years old, the Path only opened up less than a month ago. Spanning 3.6 miles, it runs along side the northbound auto lanes of the bridge with beautiful views of the Hudson River. Each end of the path has a "landing" (Westchester Landing and Rockland Landing) which contains parking as well as restrooms, seating, information on the history of the bridges, and space for vendors to park and sell goods. Additionally, the Westchester end contains a welcome center. In total, there are 30 parking spots on the Westchester side and 57 spots on the Rockland side. I think they did a great job with the construction of the path. The floor is painted blue which gives a pleasant visual aesthetic, and there are clear lane markings for cyclists and pedestrians so there's no confusion. Along the path there are 5 additional landings where you can stop, rest, and enjoy the views. Each landing has a different design and is named after something found in Westchester or Rockland. Social distancing was super easy, and there are numerous signs on the path reminding you to wear a mask. The path is open from 6am to 10pm every day, but it does close during inclement weather. If you're feeling rambunctious, then you can really get a nice 7.2 mile walk in going both ways. If not, I believe there is a shuttle that can take you back if you want (though I'm not 100% sure of that). In any case, the Path is definitely a positive addition to the lower Hudson Valley. It's a great (and relatively safe) way to spend a little time outdoors. read more

This is the second Tappan Zee Bridge across the Hudson from Tarrytown to Nyack. In 2017 the second bridge was opened and named after the previous Governor. The bridge is 4 miles across. There is a free shuttle at either end incase you are not up for another 4. Along the way there are stopping off points for photos and there is information . Some of the information slide shows are not very responsive to your touch. At the stop off points there are risers that allow pictures. There is high plexiglass. The bridge itself is architecturally interesting. There is info along the way about its construction. I went on a grey day which made pictures of the bridge sharp and clear. The Hudson River looked Grey too. To get there from Manhattan on public transportation there are frequent trains from Grand Central. You take Metro North and Tarrytown is the first stop outside of manhattan. read more

Whenever I and my family hang out by the Irvington Scenic Hudson Park, I can view from there this newly built bridge and although I know the design is common, it kinda look majestic to see it over the Hudson River. I love participating in the Bicycle Sundays and I am not a pro in the beautiful world of cycling. Last year I was looking forward on the opening of the bike/pedestrian path on the bridge. I read some articles and saw some videos about it and learned that the lanes are a bit narrow for both two-way riders and two-way pedestrians. Luckily, the bicycle sundays were extended thru October (and hopefully they'll do it again this year) so I decided to try out this bridge on late fall and early winter. The path is on the north side of the bridge and how I wish they made another one on the south side as well. It is indeed a bit narrow as mentioned in the news but can be managed with extra caution. There are times when pedestrians are walking and kids suddenly ran on the bike lanes so be careful and watch out. Having ridden here numerous times I find the view of the north side of Hudson relaxing although the noise of the cars and trucks are a bit annoying. I am not trained nor have tried frigid winter cycling so I can't wait for those sudden 50s weather. read more

Formerly known as Tappan Zee Bridge from 1955-2017 and later officially re-named the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge beginning 2017. Tappan Zee for American Indian tribe from the area called "Tappan"; and zee the Dutch word for "sea." (source: Wikipedia) Owned and operated by New York State Thruway Authority. The Tappan Zee river crossing named by 17th century Dutch settlers. This new bridge is a dual-span cable-stayed twin bridge of modern contemporary design. The new Tappan Zee Bridge was proposed to include four vehicle lanes on each span for a total of eight lanes to meet the demand of 2019 vehicular traffic congestion and population. Contemporary architectural design was never a keen interest to me as I am old school to preserve the past, restoring history and continue to influence the present and future with history of memorials. Owned and operated by New York State Thruway. This bridge is cashless tolling and vehicle owners must obtain and utilize E-ZPASS. Absolutely no cash accepted. read more

Eh. I'll still always call it the Tappan Zee Bridge since I don't agree with a politician just deciding to name something after his father without even putting it to a vote. But this is not the forum for inept politics. The bridge is larger than it's counterpart (since demolished - another poor decision and this is not the forum for that either) with one half going East and the other going West. While it will help with some traffic, rush hour will still be rush hour. The bridge's decor is nothing special or to write home about. Some like it, some don't. I don't think it's particularly anything fascinating or "artsy", but that is only my opinion. I respect other's opinions in that as I would hope mine would be. As far as the actual bridge goes, it still bests the George Washington for both traffic, tolls (GWB going into NY is $18 - New Tappan Zee is $5 going into Westchester currently) and overall smoothness. I'd rather go 20 minutes out of my way over this bridge than to suffer on the GWB, so this is still my go-to bridge whenever I want to venture to Jersey or beyond unless it's very late or very early. There are no more tollbooths and the traffic that goes along with it. With an EZ Pass you get the toll slightly cheaper - otherwise you're getting the bill in the mail. So say what you will about the name - but that actual physical bridge (minus the "art") is still the best option for crossing the Hudson River read more

I'll offer a runner's take on the bridge's pedestrian path: while the bridge path offers a totally unique route with some amazing views and impressive amenities, it also disappoints in important ways. Logistics: There is free parking and a welcome center with restrooms and water at either end of the bridge. The facility is usually well staffed, and the path itself is patrolled by a state trooper on a utility vehicle. The path includes clear maps and signage, distance markers, and bump-outs along the entire span to take a break and enjoy the views. But there is no water along the span itself. It gets hot out there on warm days, so you need to bring whatever you need to stay hydrated. COVID safety: You can't miss the signage requiring everyone to mask up. There is fair to good compliance among visitors. On nice days, the volume of visitors means that you will have to wear a mask most of the time you are running. The route: The views are sweet. The traffic is loud, but not deafening. The path is quite narrow -- especially given the high volume of visitors -- and the traffic pattern is unique. The inside lane (nearest the vehicle lanes) is reserved for bikers, and the outside lane (nearest the river) is reserved for everyone on foot. The narrowness of the path means that you need to pop out into the bike lane to pass other pedestrians, so stay alert for bikes coming from both directions. Since it's a bridge span, you are always going up or down. The 2-miles of uphill grade from the Rockland shore to the towers may be a gentle grade, but it's deceptively taxing. The weather on the water is an amplified version of whatever it's like on shore, which means on hot days it's really hot out there. In sum, the views make doing this run once entirely worth it. But the crowds on the path require a great deal of energy and situational awareness to navigate. So while I live 5 minutes away, that's enough of a detractor to ensure I only do this run very infrequently (and usually only very early in the morning). read more

The Tappen Zee, The Mario M. Cuomo, or The NEW Tappen Zee... no matter what you feel the name should be, it's simply nice to have a smooth ride. Not to mention it's pretty Dope to look at from all vantage points. Like pretty much anything that involves politicians and politics this bridge overhaul/replacement has had its share of controversy throughout the many stages. However both directions are currently open with enough lanes to accommodate the volume at all times. Gone are the days of the lane expander machine at the different rush hours, trying to expand & narrow lanes to elevate the inevitable bottle necking. The bridge is now seamless and cashless. If it wasn't for the views and the remainder of the old relic still sitting beside it, you may not realize you are crossing a bridge. read more

For all purposes, this bridge is called the Tappan Zee Bridge; just as the old one was! This one is high and has many spans of wires on both bridges (there are now 2). While I feel the views seem better on the old bridge - the old bridge was straight: this one feels like a roller coaster. Large pilots block your views South. At least we have money for new bridges, unlike beantown. Rebel review: 3 read more

There are so few ways to cross the Hudson. If you are on 87/287 this bridge is it. The GW is a 45 minute detour south. The Bear Mountain Bridge is a 45 minute detour north. So if there is an accident on the bridge, or on the highway approaching the bridge, you are screwed. It's also a pretty ugly bridge. Especially at night. Those towers do not light up. Being a Boston gal, I'm used to the pretty lit up Zakim. This bridge is a dump in comparison. read more

I am writing my review strictly as a bicyclist because I have not driven over the Mario Cuomo Bridge. I drove from NYC via route 9a to the parking lot in Tarrytown. Let me begin by saying that the architects who designed the access and the lanes were not bicyclist's. The parking lots on both sides of the bridge are way too small. The path itself is not wide enough to accommodate all of the runners and bicyclist's who would like to use the path. Plusses are that there is a rest facility on the Westchester side, and that there is easy access to route 9 on the Rockland side. read more
