Operations to shift Westchester-bound traffic on the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge to the crossing's new eastbound span will begin on Friday night, Sept. 7, weather permitting.
Following the results of a pilot study in 2015, the project team recently placed more than 400 oyster reef structures in the Hudson River near the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge. The new oyster reef system covers more than five acres in the river, and is part of the state's commitment to re-establish the local wild oyster population.
