Project Overview

The replacement of the Tappan Zee Bridge, now officially known as the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge, has earned widespread acclaim both nationally and internationally. Serving as a critical link for approximately 140,000 vehicles each day, this bridge plays a vital role in connecting upstate New York with the bustling New York City and Tri-State region.

Fort Miller Precast was entrusted with a monumental task: the production of 975 main span bridge deck panels for the new 3.1-mile-long cable-stayed twin bridge. Deck panels were manufactured in Fort Miller’s Easton, NY facility and transported via barge to Tarrytown, NY.

What sets this project apart is the utilization of Fort Miller’s high-strength concrete mix, engineered for a 100-year lifespan and capable of achieving compressive strengths exceeding an impressive 10,000 PSI. Fort Miller also delivered a wide array of essential components, including highway barriers, asymmetrical highway barriers, lagging wall panels, Super-Slab® pavement slabs, T-WALL® retaining wall units, noise wall units, a 3-sided bridge underpass, and temporary anchor blocks, all of which played a vital role in the successful erection of the main span cables.

The Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge is more than just a transportation artery; it is a testament to precision, innovation, and unwavering commitment. Fort Miller proudly stands as a key contributor to this iconic structure.
