The New Tappan Zee Bridge


Not crazy about how it was named the Mario Cuomo Bridge (passed in wee hours in secret by his son), but official opening is tomorrow, in my mind, it'll be the new Tappan Zee Bridge. Maybe the Nyack - Tarrytown bridge?

I took this snapshot July 14 on a rainy day as I was passing through to Connecticut.

I just drove on the Tap on Sunday. The one span can't open until they tear down part of the old bridge it looks like.

It'll open today or tomorrow, I forget. It looks great at night. Too bad about the boondoggle of a budget among other things.

It's been sketchy for more than a decade. This project was long overdue.

Yeah, was way past due date, not built for the capacity and weight it currently, well, used to support. Let's wait for the last minute to fix it when it'll cost the most stratagem. Sigh.

The old bridge was in bad shape. I hated driving over the large steel plate "patches" when they were wet. I haven't been over the new section yet but, it'll still be the Tappan Zee to me. It'll be hard to call it something else after knowing it as the TZ Bridge for 5+ decades. 

I wonder what my EZPass bill will call it... MCB?..Cuomo? Mario? Super Mario?  LOL

Oh, and I love the fact that they pulled out the toll booths and one doesn't have to jockey around / slow down for the EZPass / pay toll lanes, etc.

I hated driving in the right lane on the old bridge seemed narrower.

    • So, my league starts next week, and I have a golf trip in two weeks. I am thinking no matter what I do, I will have to do my left leg and downswing turning piece. At least this turning piece helps me negate shanking the shot.  I probably shanked the foam ball about 10x in a row yesterday. Given, I was doing downswing work with not much caring about the body rotation. I was struggling to feel the same thing from two days ago. Where I was able to feel the arm piece and the turning piece working together. Yesterday, my body turn was just destroying my arms down piece.  That said, it’s not like I have a great feel for where the club is in space. Especially with how fast the downswing is. If I do the arms downswing piece with the turn piece better. I just feel those two things. Then after I am going into the finish I am like, "Oh, that was center of the clubface". I am glad the clubface found the ball. Maybe that is normal when you are trying to fix your mechanics. You are so hyper focused on the hitting the swing feel that the feel for the club is just gone.  I’ve watched YouTube videos where they talk about how correct lower-body mechanics give you the feeling of having tons of time in the downswing. I’m like, BS! there is no time. If anything, it feels faster now. 🤣 I do notice that the clubface stays more open past impact, less flippy. Not like I am trying to do that. Actually, with the downswing arm piece, I am trying to feel like I am rolling my wrist (closing the club a bit more). 
    • Well, if any one cares, this has been very successful in Cricket. It is full 3D and has drastically reduced wrong calls. There are still instances that the umpire's original decision is upheld if marginal. People rolled their eyes at first but now almost everyone with it.  
    • Jason Day had 1 wild Masters outfit rejected, still raising eyebrows Despite having one planned Masters outfit rejected for the 2026 event, Jason Day's apparel is still raising eyebrows at Augusta National. The pants + jacket is a bit much. I don't mind the vest. It is fine.  August is really stuffy in that way; their entire enterprise is based on image control. I am not shocked.  Don't you dare wear your hat backwards 🤣
