Dismantling the Tappan Zee, Piece by Piece

The Tappan Zee Bridge, which crosses the Hudson River north of New York City, in Tarrytown, N.Y., Dec. 15, 2017. The bridge, replaced by the nearby Gov. Mario M. Cuomo Bridge, is being dismantled piece by piece because environmental regulations meant to protect the Hudson prevent demolition. (Rick Loomis/The New York Times)
