Photo Ops : Getting To Know the New Bay Bridge

Monday, April 30, 2012, by Sally Kuchar It seems like everyone's been so excited about the Golden Gate Bridge's upcoming 75th anniversary celebration that we've neglected our less-famous bridge to the east, particularly its replacement's construction. Thankfully, photographer and friend of Curbed SF Bhautik Joshi was lucky enough to partake in a Caltrans boat tour of the under-construction east span of the new Bay Bridge earlier this month. He snapped some great shots with full descriptions of what kind of action is happening. Check out his photos above, and click the link in the photo caption for more information on the construction.

House of the Day: Skip the Cape Cod Bridge Traffic Snarl in This Shingled Cottage

Have a nomination for a jaw-dropping listing that would make a mighty fine House of the Day? Get thee to the tipline and send us your suggestions. We'd love to see what you've got.

Location: Marion, Mass.
Price: $1,995,000
The Skinny: This charming shingle-style cottage occupies a well-landscaped lot in Marion, Mass., a yachting mecca on the western shore of Buzzards Bay. In summer, it's not unlike the coastal communities of Cape Cod, but without the inevitable weekend traffic bottleneck. Located just a short walk from the beach, this five-bedroom, three-bath home is a well-preserved example of turn-of-the-century style, both inside and out, but has been tastefully updated with a new kitchen and a lofty upstairs studio space. Listed for $2M, the house sits on just 0.35 acres, but an easy walk from the marina and the Tabor Academy prep school.

The Tappan Zee Bridge Replacement as Proxy for Bureacracy

Here’s a sobering City Journal (love the pub and iPad app!) article on the state of the “The Tappan Zee Is Falling Down” – the replacement of the Tappan Zee Bridge crossing the Hudson River and connecting Westchester and Rockland County New York.

The Tappan Zee exemplifies the state of America’s infrastructure in 2011. We rely on it more than ever: each year, 51 million cars, trucks, and buses traverse the seven-lane “Tap,” as locals call it. More people commute over it than through the Lincoln or the Holland Tunnel, both of which cross the river to the south. Yet New York outgrew the bridge decades ago, with today’s traffic far exceeding the structure’s designed capacity. Worse, the Tappan Zee is a disaster in slow motion.

The bridge has several decades too old and undergoes continuous renovations. I thought the stimulus package would accelerate construction of roads and bridges but alas, the process is bogged down by the same federal government that brought us the stimulus package.

Its a key regional asset that impacts the economy and as an extension, the housing market.

Bridge naming: Tappan Indian tribe, + Dutch word for “sea”.
