A White Plains limousine driver, whose car was nearly struck by a falling crane in 2016, settled his lawsuit with Tappan Zee Constructors for $1.2 million.
Tappan Zee Constructuing is suing an engineering firm for a mishap that marred a celebration of the opening of the eastbound span of the bridge.
Tappan Zee Constructors says the state Thruway Authority owes it $960 million.
A Thruway Authority spokesperson also told us in 2018, independent experts concluded that the actual bolts and the bridge are safe.
However, a new report from the Albany Times Union alleges structural dangers on the bridge were covered up. Despite concerns from engineering experts that girders could separate and the bridge could collapse without notice, the state’s investigations moved slowly. Also, many workers at the site throughout the multiyear project some with firsthand knowledge of the extent of the broken bolts were never interviewed by investigators, Brendan J. Lyons wrote in his article for the Times Union.
The report from the Times Union also questions the thoroughness of the investigations into broken bolts on the bridge.
