A ceremony marking the opening of the new Tappan Zee Bridge, which partially opens for business tomorrow, is being held this morning at 11am. Several local officials are expected to be in attendance as Governor Andrew Cuomo leads the day’s events. WRCR’s Jeff Lewis takes a look back at the old bridge, and forward with the new era of transportation for the Hudson Valley region

Rockland-bound traffic is scheduled to shift to the new bridge Friday night. Motorists traveling on the Rockland-bound side of the Thruway should be prepared for lane closures and traffic stoppages so workers can reconfigure the landings and stripe the lanes at both ends of the new 3.1-mile crossing.
