Notice a few cranes near the TZ Bridge, as seen from MetroNorth train. Click here for the project website including cameras.
A passenger in my car took the next two.
The one above and the next three were taken from a southbound boat.
Here’s a link to info mostly on the existing TZ Bridge. Here’s a link to the old borough of Tappan.
And here’s the news in this post . . . December 22 Left Coast Lifter (LCL) finally departed San Francisco Bay bound for the Hudson River. Here‘s video of the towed LCL departing SFB.
Will it be renamed TZ Lifter? . Towing it were Lauren and Iver Foss. And before it reaches the Panama Canal, no doubt Miss Lis (scroll thru) will arrive in the sixth boro with its TZ barge.
Click here for an article in the Journal News about the crane. And from May 2013 San Jose Mercury News, more info . . . including a line that says New yorkers are free to rename the crane/barge.
Many thanks to my friend David Hindin for coordinating the SF views. Join me in wishing David a prosperous 2014.

Will,
“Left Coast Lifter” has left the Oakland Outer Harbor.
My Bay Area maritime community friends will be happy to see her go; no more “is she still there” notes from me.
Google “marinetraffic.com XXXX” to get links to track the progress of the vessels cited.
