Toll to cross Tappan Zee Bridge might skyrocket to $14!!!

[cli-terminator]

ALBANY — Cash tolls on the rebuilt Tappan Zee bridge could be as high as $14 — nearly three times its current $5 toll.

Gov. Cuomo said Friday that toll hikes are necessary even if the state decides not to build a new $5.2 billon bridge since the existing span is in such poor shape.

“If you do nothing you are looking at about a $12 toll because you’d have to substantially repair the bridge,” Cuomo said. “I think the option that makes the most sense is to build a new bridge.”

State transportation officials are reviewing proposals from three contractors looking to build the new Tappan Zee, with a finish date eyed for 2017. A decision is expected later this year.

Cuomo argued the tolls would be about $28 if a bus or rail system were added to the new span — which many transit advocates have sought but the state has rejected as too costly. Cuomo also argued the hefty toll would be comparable to the George Washington Bridge, which will likely have a $15 round-trip cost within five years.

I hate that long ass bridge. It's a fucking long way to swim if shit was to ever happen & you couldn't drive to the other side. Every time I cross it, I think of that scene from True Lies with the damn Arab terrorist trucks crossing the Florida Keys.

I get stuck on that piece of shit EVERY night going to work.. I pray they build this new bridge & hurry the fuck up too.. Yea the toll will be expensive, but peace of mind is priceless, & when they demolish the old piece of shit fuck nigga ass bridge, I will be there in Nyack to watch it plummet helplessly into the Hudson & get swallowed up into the muck!

Fuck NY....that the one I paid 6:50 to go over a couple of weeks ago??

 

[shams]

Are we leasing these bridges from other countries? I estimate each bridge makes at least 8 figures a years respectively, and that's on the low end. What justifies a such a drastic raise in tolls?

 

[doggish_098]

all them shits are inflated... last time i went to ny i went straight up route 1 to the outter bridge and across the varazana bridge and coming back came through the holland tunnel and back down route 1 no tolls either way

because the port authorities are like bankers... they tell you they are using the funds to improve the infrastructure yet they are loaning the money out for projects in and out of the city

No toll huh? So you didn't pay the toll on the geothels bridge coming into NY from NJ?

Do you talk just to talk ?

PA is a quasi gov agency it operates as a private business and public agency. PA is not allowed to keep profits there for they use the money to fund projects in both NY and NJ

Like building fire houses and schools, improving roadways, giving NJ like 8 billion to help fund the new rail crossing into NYC that gov fat boy Christie killed

PA loan anybody money

And the tolls is just a fraction of their income revenue

Did you know they are landlords too? You think those airlines don't pay big bucks to land at the 3 major airports in NYC? Maritime companies paying big bucks to dock at area ports?

exactly why I expect PA tolls to go up again in less than 3 years
fat ass will use tolls to replace tax revenue...

I went to college in Rhode Island. I used to drive from Jersey to RI and back all the time. Never took that bridge once even though people always told me about it. After the GWB just stayed on 95 the whole trip

Does route 1 still have those moon craters after the traffic lights stop? I took that route once and only once. Between the "presence" in Woodbridge, and traffic lights I just paid the five and took the PATH.

Route 1 is the shit tho', you can drive from Canada to the Florida Keys and never leave Route 1.
