The Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge, also known as the New NY Bridge is a twin cable-stayed bridge that replaces the Tappan Zee Bridge, in the USA. The bridge is equipped with a Structural Health Monitoring System (SHMS) consisting of more than 400 sensors deployed at relevant locations. The sensors capture environmental and operational conditions as well as the associated structural responses. The system is designed to process monitoring data to support data-driven management of the bridge. This is achieved through the system''s different functionalities, which include real-time data visualization via an on-line graphical user interface, customized data processing routines, alert notifications whenever data-based thresholds are exceeded, automatic reporting of pre-defined parameters and characterization of structural responses during extreme events. The present paper describes, as a case-study, the motivation, architecture, functionalities and installation aspects of the SHMS.
