The New York State Thruway Authority has picked Tappan Zee Constructors to begin negotiations on a contract to construct the new $5 billion Tappan Zee bridge, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal.
Tappan Zee Constructors is a joint venture of Fluor Enterprises Inc., American Bridge Co., Granite Construction Northeast Inc. and Traylor Bros. Inc.
Now, the state and the Tappan Zee Constructors must negotiate a detailed agreement on the final design, cost and construction schedule for the project. Work on the bridge is expected to begin next year.
