What is This?

Can you identify this structure?P1020483Named for an American Indian tribe from the area and the Dutch word for sea. It connects Nyack in Rockland County with Tarrytown in Westchester County.

Located on the east coast of the US. Part of its official name includes a former NY governor.

It is one of the primary ways to cross the Hudson River north of New York City and carries much of the traffic between southern New England and points west of the Hudson.

No, it’s not a giant erector set.

No idea! I'm assuming it's a bridge, but don't know the name.

My guess is that it is Tappan Zee Bridge. To be honest, internet is a fantastic help :-) :-) :-)

Have a great day now!

Well, heck, I have no clue what bridge it is, but the images are pretty cool. :)

Hello Everyone,
Thanks Mona, Christer, Lois, AC, and Krista for the replies. Yes, it is indeed a bridge - more about it in tommorrow's post.

Congratulations to Christer for being absolutely correct. It is the Tappan Zee Bridge in NY!

And I agree, Krista, bridges are such fun to photograph, especially when Grenville is driving.
