AWMI METALLICMISSIVES

In 2013, construction began on the new Tappan Zee Bridge. The replacement had been in discussion for 14 years. According to the state site newnybridge.com, the bridge will include 14 miles of new span cables, 50 miles of foundation pilings, 300,000 cubic yards of concrete and 220 million pounds (110,000 tons) of steel. The project will take 4 years to complete and just reached the halfway mark. Gerdau was selected as one of the suppliers. We are pleased to have Mr. Pete Diggs joining us April 4th, at Redd’s in the Meadowlands to give us an update on this project and the role that Gerdau and steel produced in the USA is playing.
