CORNING (WENY)---The New York Department of Transportation is looking for input before construction begins to replace the Patterson Bridge on Route 352 in Corning.

The bridge crosses the Chemung River, and connects Corning with the village of Riverside.

Construction is expected to start in early 2013 and take about a year to complete.

The DOT is holding a public informational meeting today, May 15th, at 6:15 in the Corning West High School Auditorium on Victory Highway in Painted Post.
