@@MileageMikeTravels We don't, but the bridge is nice 👍. The old one was interesting but it was getting crumby. The new bridge also has a bike path that connects Tarrytown and Nyack. Very nice experience
@@retroking59 It is strange, how they had to replace one of the "newest" bridges across the Hudson River first. The Bear Mountain Bridge (the next bridge north of the Tappan Zee) will be 100 years old in 2024.
A natural three-mile-wide section of the Hudson River. It derives its name from the Tappan Native American sub-tribe of the Delaware/Lenni Lenape, and the Dutch word "zee" meaning a sea.
As much as I hate going over the Verrazzano, nothing terrified me as much as driving on the original Tappan Zee back in 2010. I went over the replacements going both directions in 2019, and as much as I hate bridges, I actually felt safe.
I used to drive from Long island to Rockland County to visit a girl every weekend for 2 years while they were building the new bridge. Stuck in traffic for HOURS. Then we broke up and they opened the new bridge 7 months later and I hit her with that "hey" text just so I could drive across the bridge lol
🚗🚚⛵ good day all👍 mom and I was on it a few times not a bad bridge to cross 🚗 happy their put it back to the Tappen Zee then Coumo bridge half the people still used the original name Like the Meadowlands or Giants Stadium don't call it MetLife much better when New Jersey decided to Byne for ex governor
@@MileageMikeTravels I remember the drive up to Sleepy Hollow was pretty nice but if you're heading back down to the New Jersey area go over to the Pennsylvania side and drive down 611/32/River Road from Easton to Washington Crossing PA. Also try the Blue Ridge Parkway when ever you get down south.
This is exactly what I was looking for being a simple crossing of the completed bridge on a beautiful day. Thank you!
You should check this bridge out at night time
It will show the cool version
Back in the '70s and early '80s we drove on this bridge on the way to NYC from Toronto..
This is the first time I rode over the new Tappan Zee Bridge.
Thanks for calling it the Tappan Zee Bridge and not the other name
Oh yeah I heard the locals don’t care for the “official” name.

Love these videos! Just curious if you mount your camera inside or outside the car?
Cashless, no stop tolling has definitely helped the traffic flow.
Oh yeah for sure
Hey, have you ever driven on the original cantilever Tappan Zee Bridge before its closure in 2017?
...yes numerous times..
I have dozens of times. I'm originally from the Hudson Valley. I have been over AND under it.
This was my first time in NY.
@@MileageMikeTravels Nice, I haven't visited New York State yet, but I'll probably check it out when I have free time from work.

No "Terrytown" here it is "Tarrytown"
@@jamessambets6116 ok
Thank you for using the Tappan Zee Bridge name on your stream. I don't like the new name of it. It will always be TZ to me.

Brings back memories. The Hudson Valley is very nice. Do you do scenic drives?
Sure. You have some recommendations in the area?
