There is a new effort underway to restore the Tappan Zee name to the renamed Mario M. Cuomo Bridge, which connects Rockland and Westchester County What’s more: It’s a Democrat leading the legislative charge to restore the old name
Democratic State Senator James Skoufis is now the main sponsor of a bill to change the name of the bridge back to the Tappan Zee. The original structure was finished in 1955, with the two words harkening back to the area's pre-colonial days: Tappan, after the Native American tribe, and Zee, the Dutch word for sea.
The last part of the original bridge was dismantled in 2019, the year after the current $4 billion dollar structure opened to traffic. Previous GOP led bills to revert back to Tappan Zee have stalled in the legislature, but Sen. Skoufis believes he can help clear any political roadblocks.
