The New NY Bridge is emerging from the Hudson River.
Watch the first year of construction fly by in just over two minutes of video showing how Tappan Zee Constructors, LLC (TZC) is building foundations for the new twin-span bridge. The time-lapse video was compiled from photos taken by the project’s construction cams, which are positioned to capture the daily action from six different vantage points and post the images on the project website. Look for additional time-lapse videos as the New NY Bridge continues to rise from the Hudson River.
The new video shows TZC’s armada of floating cranes and hundreds of workers installing nearly two-thirds of the new bridge’s foundation piles during the first 12 months of construction. It also portrays the construction of large, flat concrete structures called pile caps that are lowered onto the piles to unify their strength. Inside the pile caps, workers install cages of reinforcing steel that are encased in concrete to provide the strength necessary to support the new bridge.
