ThyssenKrupp connection road project moves ahead

DANVILLE – State and local officials are forging ahead with plans to build a new public road that will give ThyssenKrupp better access to Lynch Road as part of the company's expansion project.

The $2.1 million state- funded project will create a new road that will begin at the current entrance to ThyssenKrupp's forge facility, 1000 N. Lynch Road, and head west, providing access to both the machining division, which is the facility that's expanding, and the forge facility, where corporate headquarters are located.
