Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge — Attraction in Town of Orangetown

Recently, I had the opportunity to drive across the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge, and it was an experience that left a lasting impression. This bridge, which replaced the old Tappan Zee Bridge, offers a seamless and scenic passage across the Hudson River, connecting Rockland and Westchester counties.

As I approached the bridge, I was immediately struck by its modern design and impressive structure. The bridge's sleek lines and towering cables create an aesthetically pleasing view that stands out against the river and surrounding landscape.

The drive itself was smooth and enjoyable. The bridge features wide lanes and clear signage, making navigation straightforward even for those unfamiliar with the area. As I drove across, I couldn’t help but appreciate the panoramic views of the Hudson River and the surrounding hills. The design allows for a gentle, unobstructed view, making the journey across the bridge a visual

One of the most notable aspects of the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge is its emphasis on safety. The bridge is equipped with advanced monitoring systems and has been designed to withstand severe weather conditions, ensuring a safe passage for all travelers. Additionally, the lanes are well-marked, and there is a dedicated path for cyclists and pedestrians, which is a great addition for those who prefer a slower pace.

Driving across the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge was a delightful experience. The combination of modern engineering, safety features, and breathtaking views makes it more than just a means of getting from point A to point B. It’s a journey in itself, one that I would recommend to anyone traveling in the area. Whether you’re commuting, taking a road trip, or just exploring, crossing this bridge is an experience...

Love, Love, Love the views. We started at the Westchester side. You can Google directions to the parking area. You must wear a mask. Get there early. Not too many parking spots. The later it gets, the more people on the path. Bathrooms are very clean, and well stocked. There's a coffee truck, that also has ice cream, and other snacks, there's chairs and tables where you can sit and have your food. They have a couple of vending machines. They also have an electric bike rental. Once you get on the walking path, there's plenty to see. The views, the tiny light house. Each bump out has its own unique style, and name. The views are spectacular. The path is almost 4 miles one way. Wear your walking shoes. Take your time. There's a middle spot where you're standing on 2 Counties. The cords that hold up the bridge are very cool to look up to. Just before you get to the landing on the Rockland landing there's a beautiful painted mural. There's art sculptures through out the path. The Bump outs are art works themselves. The only downside are the bike riders, they go too fast, they don't give you enough warning. Some are downright rude. Keep your eyes and ears open for them. On either side of the path, there's super cute and picturesque towns. Great for exploring, eating or shopping. I suggest you make it a day. Dress for the weather. It gets very windy. Wear plenty of sunblock. We went on a spring day, the sun was shining, not hot, yet our faces were a little burnt, some from the sun, some from the...

Whenever I and my family hang out by the Irvington Scenic Hudson Park, I can view from there this newly built bridge and although I know the design is common, it kinda look majestic to see it over the Hudson River.

I love participating in the Bicycle Sundays and I am not a pro in the beautiful world of cycling. Last year I was looking forward on the opening of the bike/pedestrian path on the bridge. I read some articles and saw some videos about it and learned that the lanes are a bit narrow for both two-way riders and two-way pedestrians. Luckily, the bicycle sundays were extended thru October (and hopefully they'll do it again this year) so I decided to try out this bridge on late fall and early winter.

The path is on the north side of the bridge and how I wish they made another one on the south side as well. It is indeed a bit narrow as mentioned in the news but can be managed with extra caution. There are times when pedestrians are walking and kids suddenly ran on the bike lanes so be careful and watch out. Having ridden here numerous times I find the view of the north side of Hudson relaxing although the noise of the cars and trucks are a bit annoying.

I am not trained nor have tried frigid winter cycling so I can't wait for those sudden...
