Description: Another milestone is in the books as westbound traffic on the Tappan Zee Bridge was switched over to the new $4 billion Gov. Mario M. Cuomo Bridge Friday evening. Traffic backed up due to closures and detours but the situation is temporary. This will allow the crews to begin demolishing the old bridge while finishing the new one, which is expected to be done sometime in 2018.
