Progress is being made on the lead line replacement project in the city of St Francisville.
The city council was updated on the ongoing work Wednesday night by Seth Flach, construction manager with Milano and Grunloh Engineering of Effingham.

The over $11 million Cannonball Bridge project was also reported to be about 58% complete.
