Mid-Hudson Valley travelers, do you think it’s normal for a river crossing bridge to fall into such disrepair that it must be replaced, with its counterpart needing demolition? This was the fate of the former Tappan Zee bridge under the care of the New York State Thruway Authority. If Governor Andrew Cuomo has his way, YOUR Mid-Hudson bridges will come under the care of that same Thruway Authority. You can expect increased tolls and inadequate maintenance, resulting in deterioration of those healthy bridges and eventual replacement. YOU WILL BEAR THE COST! The Thruway Authority is a highway operation, caring for nearly 600 miles of roadway. River crossing bridges are not their expertise. We have the experts on duty for our river crossing bridges, the New York State Bridge Authority. These skilled and dedicated workers have kept your river crossing bridges safe, charging incredibly affordable tolls for decades. If you care, you must act now to stop the takeover of your bridges by the Thruway Authority. Make your voice be heard by contacting your State Senator, Assembly person, and legislators. Don’t be run over by Andrew Cuomo.
