DECATUR, Ill. (WAND) - The Decatur City Council approved almost $4 million in funding for more road improvements in the community.
The upgrades will be for North Monroe, East Cantrell and East William Streets.
City leaders said the work will improve over six miles of road.
The repairs are slated for neighborhoods that leaders felt were badly in need of them after a few rough winters.
"Winter's always hard on the streets. Potholes bloom in the spring, and with freeze/thaw, when you're cold, you freeze, you thaw, you freeze, you thaw, so it just tears the roads up. So all the winters are very bad on the roads," said Director of Public Works Matt Newell.
A $3 million road improvement package was approved earlier this year.
