A joint venture of four construction companies called Tappan Zee Constructors (TZC) has begun work on the $3.9 billion New York Bridge. The three-mile twin NY Bridge will be built across the Hudson River and will replace the 60-year-old Tappan Zee Bridge. Some 30 cranes are on site, 14 of which are Manitowocs. Bob Hammond of Granite Construction, one of the TZC companies, said, "Many of our partners in the consortium brought Manitowoc cranes to the project. Among them are a 11000-1 crawler loading and unloading supplies from barges; two Manitowoc 4600 ringer cranes that are doing pile driving work, driving sheets, setting concrete and casting forms, and performing form work; a Manitowoc 14000 cleaning piles and handling dig out chores; and a Manitowoc 999 using a clam bucket to handle clean out work for piles."
