The company was formed just to build this bridge. It was called " zee bridge builders. " so yeah, they probably aren't in business anymore. I'm sure a few people made off pretty well. Including politicians. On even got his family name on the bridge.
Google Maps referred to the new bridge as the Tappan Zee for a while until most of the road signs got all changed. It's still the Tappan Zee to many locals.
Couldn't Thruway Authority have been monitoring work to ensure contractor was acting in compliance with contract agreement in order to prevent this from happening??

The Thruway Authority needs to sue the state because the state provided the permit and did the inspections and if they didn't inspect the cables and make sure it was the correct cables and the correct tensions then it's their fault permits are for quality control and verification of correct Construction
If you read the lawsuit it doesn't give any details on what they believe is actually the problem. It's very vague. So until they actually state in detail.. it's confusing
The same things happened with poor quality steel cables when building the Brooklyn bridge. Rusty metal scrap added to the steel to make more money out of the cable.
if there were requirements in the contract...that's pretty bad that they didn't meet that. (these contracts must be really detailed....) are contractors this large covered by insurance for such things? add jail time that management/owners can't weasel out of. they basically cheated millions of people.
Come to Rhode island, the same thing is happening here on a smaller, but no less important bridge connecting two parts of the state. State authorities apparently had no oversight when the contractor was building the bridge, so they get away with whatever they can. And if they lose in court, they'll just claim bankruptcy. I have a feeling lots of money exchanged hands on both of these projects.
So basically this is just a story about Thruway Authority suing contractors who basically cut corners to save money and fast-track building the bridge?
If that is the case, what legitimate reason could be given? If this state is outsourcing critically important materials to save(?) $$ with no regard for quality of workmanship for such an important project, then those parties should be held accountable and liable in a court of law
1:35 All the financial costs of repair and long-term maintenance costs will need to be shown in court. They needed estimates to file the lawsuit. An inept congressman DEMANDING that Govenor Holchem look into this is a complete waste of time, money, and resources. Ahhhh what are our overpaid useless representatives for, other than to find ways to spend more money, doing exactly what is already being done AGAIN, but this time putting HIS indignation on it.
They over painted the bike path on the bridge it rattles the bike thank God my Trek Marlin 5 is super great with that I don't know if anyone gad that happen when biking on the bridge
HDR designed that bridge. HDR does not know how to give engineers to work for them compliments of their bad recruiter Jennifer Larkin. She called me for an interview and did not set it up. Guess they employ idiots!
Rep Mike Lawler , it would have been great if you mentioned the safety of the bridge for ( COMMUTERS) who use the bridge to get from point A to point B . Not just the price of the cost . Typical Republicans.

Those darn Temu cables!
Why, Temu?! Why?!!!
It's UAW engineering or was it Boeing engineering. Both subpar American made just like their cars and planes!
Its the Tappan Zee Bridge.
Yes same
Not how it works when it’s a completely new bridge. It wasn’t renamed.
@@Chyeahokay yeah racist democrats removed the native american Indian name and renamed it after an old white man. Go figure.
Google Maps referred to the new bridge as the Tappan Zee for a while until most of the road signs got all changed. It's still the Tappan Zee to many locals.
Agreed I like to call it tappan zee 2.0 ever since Mario Cuomo got into that scandal,
Couldn't Thruway Authority have been monitoring work to ensure contractor was acting in compliance with contract agreement in order to prevent this from happening??
That would violate DEI policy, which prohibits checking up on work done by certain protected classes.
How do you verify the strength of the cables ?

The name of the bridge says it alll lol
True LOL
nepotism?
nobody who lives there calls it that.
I remember Cuomo bragging it was built on time and on budget, guess this is why
8$ toll fee and they can’t even build a bridge correctly
Its named after the right family.
Why didn’t the inspectors catch these issues before they were installed? This is negligence on the states part.
The Contractors that Build that Bridge will Demand their Legal and illegal Political Contributions be Returned before this Lawsuit can be Settled.
Where’s that Mario Cuomo bridge? Is it near the Tappan Zee?
I still call it the Tappan Zee
It is it's replacement.
Inspectors should have stopped the construction at the time and not ignore the issue.
The same contractors that built the Boeing space ship?😂😂😂😂😂✅
"the bridge is safe" ... famous last words
Safe and effective
Sorry to tell you,toll payers will be fitting the bill…
Unfortunately yes.
Parts weren't built to last? How American.
They gonna have to change it before something happens. They need a Bigger Stronger Bridge like the 59st.Bridge.
Well that backfired big time
The Thruway Authority needs to sue the state because the state provided the permit and did the inspections and if they didn't inspect the cables and make sure it was the correct cables and the correct tensions then it's their fault permits are for quality control and verification of correct Construction
Contractor fled to Russia
The city had inspectors over seeing the construction.
They built a whole new bridge that's unsafe to replace the Tappan Zee Bridge that was unsafe? Wow.
Wait till they find out half the bolts are defective
It's 2024 nothing is made to last anymore. I have jeans from the 90's. That's when things were made to last
How about if we replace your car with a 72 Ford Pinto?
if i could fit in the same pants from that long ago i'd be more impressed by that than my pants 🙂
Then some people say New York State is perfect and better than anyone else
First . Change the name of the bridge
If you read the lawsuit it doesn't give any details on what they believe is actually the problem. It's very vague. So until they actually state in detail.. it's confusing
So scary
So they accept the lowest bidder, and then throw fits when they get lowest bidder quality?
Even the bridge were built according design, I doubt it would last 50 years. Look at the chopstick type beams. The old bridge used walls as beams.
how do they know?
Watch now they won’t be able to get any bids for the repair just like happened in Rhode Island. Sue at your own peril.
That’s the Tappan Zee
The same things happened with poor quality steel cables when building the Brooklyn bridge. Rusty metal scrap added to the steel to make more money out of the cable.
How's that government inspector job doing?
Well over 50% of the bridges in the US have a grade D rating by the department of Transportation.
if there were requirements in the contract...that's pretty bad that they didn't meet that. (these contracts must be really detailed....)
are contractors this large covered by insurance for such things? add jail time that management/owners can't weasel out of. they basically cheated millions of people.
Even Roman Empire built proper bridges
WE WANT A BRIDGE TO LAST 100 YEARS WITH NO MAINTENENCE!!!!
Should have had China build it lol
their "tofu dregs" construction is probably cheaper than ours 🙂
The Throwaway Authority built a throwaway bridge.
Someone pocketed a lot of money in other words….
No warranty??
Performing just as its namesake!
Known as the Tappan Zee Bridge in the real world.
They replaced a beautiful historical bridge with this ugly-looking bridge design. Didn't even try to put any effort in design.
Come to Rhode island, the same thing is happening here on a smaller, but no less important bridge connecting two parts of the state. State authorities apparently had no oversight when the contractor was building the bridge, so they get away with whatever they can. And if they lose in court, they'll just claim bankruptcy.

First missing bolts and now cables. wtf.
Make Tolls by Mail pay for it with the outrageous fees they've been extorting.
Third-rate bridge named for a third-rate politician.
Lowest bidder got the job people,
I never understood building on top of a large body of water
So basically this is just a story about Thruway Authority suing contractors who basically cut corners to save money and fast-track building the bridge?
Twenty years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift.
bet those cables are not made in USA
If that is the case, what legitimate reason could be given?

When it was new the bike path was fairly smooth, I agree it is a mess now. Something is wrong.
Breaking News: Construction contractor dissolves company, politicians and inspectors tied to bribery!

Can we called it a "rapist bridge"?
Get ready for a toll hike
HDR designed that bridge. HDR does not know how to give engineers to work for them compliments of their bad recruiter Jennifer Larkin. She called me for an interview and did not set it up. Guess they employ idiots!
Oops. Don't tell anyone. The bridge repair budget was spent on housing, feeding, caring, and educating millions of illegal migrants.
Wow
