Summary
The New York Court of Appeals affirmed that the State of New York breached its duty by unreasonably delaying the installation of median barriers on the Roslyn Viaduct, affirmed the Thruway Authority’s lack of liability for failing to install barriers on the Tappan Zee Bridge tangent section, and reversed the appellate dismissal in the Muller case, holding the Authority liable for an unjustified delay after deciding to install barriers.
