The Danville Public Works committee  has approved some major road projects.

A budget amendment of 1.25 million was okayed to fund three projects. Improvements will be made on Vacketta Drive, Chandler street, and Cleveland Street.  There also will be miscellaneous concrete improvements to roads. This budget amendment will be paid by fund reserves.  City Engineer Sam Cole says the entire project will cost over 2 million dollars.

The committee also approved an engineering agreement for the improvement of Williams Street from Bowman Avenue to State Street. The agreement would cost 285 thousand dollars. It would be paid for through funds the federal government awarded Danville. The renovation of Williams has been in the works for about five years.  Work on the street renovation could begin next month.

All the actions of the committee will go to the full city council next week.
