A few weeks ago we cycled over the Tappanzee Bridge multi use path for the first time and it was amazing! This pedestrian path opened in 2020. I would never have dreamed that we could do this as the old Tappanzee Bridge, there were no walk or bike paths. The original Tappanzee bridge
opened in December 15, 1955 and served it’s duty for providing access for commuters and truckers alike until a much needed new bridge was in the plans to deal with costly repairs and maintenance.
In 2018, both spans of the new Tappanzee Bridge opened to the public! On June 15, 2020 the 3.6 mile multi use path was opened! The Nyack side walkway is called the Rockland Landing located at 1200 Rt 9W South Nyack. The Westchester Landing path is located at 333 South Broadway, Tarrytown.
It was surreal to find yourself pedaling over the Hudson river in this vast open location. You look over one side and the beautiful Hudson River exposes itself then you look over in the other direction and a massive multi-lane concrete highway engulfs you. You can seriously hear and feel the vibration of the cars, motorcycles, & trucks zooming right by you.
