Eight 419-ft-high concrete towers, which will support the 2,230-ft-long, cable-stayed main spans of the Tappan Zee Bridge replacement over the Hudson River in New York, topped out in early
December.
Safety Week 2016, celebrated May 2-6, featured a safety rodeo at the 35 Express project in Dallas and other events at the Tappan Zee Bridge project site in Tarrytown, N.Y., and the Crenshaw/LAX transit project in Los Angeles.
When “I Lift NY,” formerly known as the Left Coast Lifter—one of the world’s largest floating cranes—hoisted a 645-ton crossbeam into place this February, it marked a milestone in the construction of the $3.9-billion replacement of the Tappan Zee Bridge over the Hudson River, 30 miles north of New York City.
The joint venture building a replacement for the Tappan Zee Bridge filed a lawsuit on Jan. 7 in federal court in New York against the supplier of a floating concrete batch plant that collapsed unexpectedly in December 2014.
