Cuomo Bridge, the span's legal name, began going up in mid-to-late 2018, with many of the signs leaving out the middle initial.Now, the state Department of Transportation says it is patching over those signs with 'overlays,' which allow them to essentially paste over the previous wording on an existing sign.The agency declined to provide an estimate for how much the sign work would cost. A spokesman, Joseph Morrissey, said seven signs were switched from 'Tappan Zee' to the Mario Cuomo Bridge last fall.The Thruway Authority, which has oversight of some of the signs that omitted the initial, is using overlays and printing new signs, according to the authority.

Sign work done on an 'ongoing basis'The work, which the state says is to ensure uniformity in its signage and to ensure it lines up with GPS and mapping software, is being done in-house at taxpayer and tollpayer expense.During his radio interview Friday, Cuomo said the signage work is done 'on an ongoing basis.' 'The new bridge is named the Mario M. Cuomo Bridge,' he said. 'And over a period of time, I know that they're changing the signs from the old name — which was from the old bridge, not the old name — which was the Tappan Zee Bridge. So that's being done on an ongoing basis.'
