State Attorney General Investigating Potential New TZB Safety Cover Up
An alleged safety coverup involving dozens of steel bolts holding together the new Tappan Zee Bridge is being investigated by the state Attorney General’s Office. New bolts holding the bridge together were defective, and workers constructing the bridge knew about it, according to a former safety inspector. Dozens of the bolts were reportedly brittle and broke during construction of the new bridge. Contractors working on the bridge reportedly failed to disclose the faulty bolts out of fear it could delay the project. The reports are now being investigated by the New York state attorney gener…

Cuomo Campaign Contributors Include New Tappan Zee Bridge Union Contractors
A Daily Voice analysis of campaign finance reports shows that New York's major labor unions involved in replacing the Tappan Zee Bridge donated almost $800,000 to Gov. Andrew Cuomo's re-election campaign. Meanwhile, the same unions landed billions of dollars in construction contracts to build the new bridge, which the Democratic governor seeking a third term on Nov. 6 officially named after his late father, Mario M. Cuomo. Numerous commuters have complained to Daily Voice that the new TZB remains as jammed during rush hour as ever -- especially during foul weather -- and they reject Cuomo's…

Poll: What Do You Think About New Name For The Bear Mountain Bridge?
Just months after the uproar over the new Tappan Zee Bridge being given the official name of the Mario M. Cuomo Bridge, residents are up in arms again over the newly enacted name of the Bear Mountain Bridge. The new name, "The Purple Heart Veterans Memorial Bridge," was selected, not by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, but by the State Senate which had originally wanted to attach the name to the new Tappan Zee. But before they could make the change, the governor stepped in and named the new bridge after his late father. But unlike the new TZB official name change, the bill specifies the name c…

Bear Mountain Bridge Now Has Its Own New Name
With the stroke of a pen, Gov. Andrew Cuomo gave another iconic bridge in the Hudson Valley a new official name. Cuomo signed into law legislation changing the name of the Bear Mountain Bridge to the Purple Heart Veterans Memorial Bridge. The state Legislature voted in favor of the new name in June, and the change became final Tuesday when it was signed by Cuomo. The bridge's new name is connected, in a way, to the new Tappan Zee Bridge's official name of the Mario M. Cuomo Bridge. In May 2017, the state Senate passed a bill to name the new Tappan Zee Bridge the "Purple Heart Memoria…
