It was built in the location it is because it had to be outside of the Port Authority, which controls the George Washington Bridge (also a Hudson River crossing) so that NYS could get the toll revenue and not the Port Authority. Also, it was built next to Tarrytown, NY so that it was a convenient drive for the Rockefeller family who has a massive swath of property in that area known as Pocantico. Governor Rockefeller could not possibly have been inconvenienced while driving to Albany by driving too far from his mansion.

And that fascist bastard Andrew Cuomo forced the state legislature to change the name of the bridge to the Mario Cuomo Bridge. New York governors have had a history of being extremely arrogant and corrupt.

Mario Cuomo bridge

It was given this name to honor the history of organized crime families in New York!
