overlook

RIVER
CROSSING

Located approximately halfway across the river, this overlook focuses on the historical connection and modes of transportation between the villages of Nyack and Tarrytown before, during and after the Tappan Zee Bridge. The canopies of this overlook were inspired by the lattice construction of the Tappan Zee Bridge, and the openings in the benches mimic the access openings used to install the thousands of rivets holding the lattice pieces together. These two structures “shake hands” near the midpoint of the river, celebrating the connectivity between the Nyacks and Tarrytown.
