Gov. Cuomo, Hillary Clinton Open New Mario M. Cuomo Bridge Replacing Tappan Zee
It replaces the old Tappan Zee Bridge, which is now being demolished
Published September 7, 2018
Gov. Andrew Cuomo officially opened the second span of the new Hudson River Bridge that bears his father's name, taking the opportunity Friday to criticize Republican President Donald Trump as being "obsessed" with building walls instead of bridges.
Hillary Clinton, a former presidential nominee and U.S. senator, joined the fellow Democrat and Westchester County resident for an event marking the completion of the nearly $4 billion Mario M. Cuomo Bridge as crews wrap up work on the second span.
The bridge linking Westchester and Rockland counties 30 miles north of New York City replaces the old Tappan Zee Bridge, most of which has been demolished. Sections of the old bridge, which opened in 1955, are being used to build new artificial reefs off Long Island.
The younger Cuomo took his mother, Matilda Cuomo [dig?], for a pre-ceremony spin across the span in a restored 1932 Packard convertible owned by Franklin D. Roosevelt when he was New York's governor. Cuomo joked that he had to convince his mother to ride with him since she has never been a fan of his driving.
"I said, 'Mom, there is no one else on the bridge. What could happen?' It took a few minutes but she took the ride," Cuomo said.
The new bridge's first span opened last year, when the structure was named to honor Mario Cuomo, governor from 1983 to 1994. He died on Jan. 1, 2015.
His son, considered a potential Democratic presidential candidate in 2020, has been a frequent critic of Trump, a native New Yorker who defeated Clinton in the 2016 election. During a speech made before the ceremonial ribbon cutting, Clinton lauded state officials who guided the bridge's construction and the 7,000 workers who built the twin3.1-mile-long spans.

did they purposely choose one of the widest parts of the river to:
a) launder moar taxpayers' money; and
b) fit in a MIRROR satanic13(3.1 miles) into the length of the bridge?
