What to Watch for When the Mario a. Cuomo Bridge Opens

I took a roadtrip to Pennsylvania last week to visit family and had the opportunity to go across the old Tappan Zee Bridge, and got a first hand look up close and girder personal at the new Mario A. Cuomo Bridge set to open in three days in the westbound direction . When you approach it for the first time leaving Westchester particularly on Friday evening, will traffic be smoother or worse? Will the sharp swing northwest to mount the new grade up the bridge cause more slowdown or less? Remember the backup that always happens now because of the insane Tarrytown exit? That is still going to be there.
