The Cuomo Bridge is not worthy of the name "Tappan Zee".
Last Fall, my wife and I drove down to DC from Boston. Our planned route was to take us over the Tappan Zee Bridge. Once we got to I-684 from I-84 we kept a look out for signs to the Tappan Zee.
Instead there nothing but signs for the Cuomo Bridge with no mention of the Tappan Zee. When we finally reached the Cuomo Bridge, it was an ugly monstrosity to behold.
The old Tappan Zee was a minimalist, spartan, industrial post-War bridge, but it provided great views of the Tappan Zee. The Cuomo Bridge was attempting to outshine the Tappan Zee itself, and it failed.
