Tappan Zee / Mario M. Cuomo Bridge Tolls: Current Status

The Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge (replaced Tappan Zee Bridge, 2017–2018) carries I-87/I-287 (New York Thruway) across the Hudson River between Tarrytown and Nyack.

• Cashless tolling (E-ZPass or Tolls by Mail)
• Westbound (Rockland → Westchester): Tolled

Correction to Prior Info

The earlier statement "no tolls in either direction" was outdated. Tolls were reinstated on the new bridge; the old Tappan Zee had tolls only eastbound (1955–2018).
