The state Thruway Authority wants to replace the deteriorating, Exit 43 bridge that runs over Interstate 90.
However, it needs a state Department of Environmental Conservation permit in order to do so, because the project site will disturb about 0.02 acres of an adjacent state freshwater wetlands area. Public comment on a draft of that freshwater wetlands permit is due by Nov. 2.
