Everyone's talking about the old Tappan Zee bridge being demolished, but here's a view from 1954 of its construction. Note the white swaths of cleared land where the New York State Thruway would eventually be built. by WAVZ 13

I live in Rockland County, shown on the far side of this 1954 photo. It's amazing how rural it used to be before the TZ Bridge and the Thruway were constructed. Over the decades, the County has become extremely suburbanized once the bridge allowed people easy access to what used to be a very sleepy and semi-rural place.
