Connecticut investing $31 million in truck rest area expansions

The Connecticut Department of Transportation announced Friday a $31 million investment in expanding truck parking at rest stops across Connecticut. Rest areas in Middletown, Southington, Madison, Southbury, and Vernon will get 183 new parking spaces, officials said. Construction began in October at the Middletown Rest Area, located off I-91 near Exit 20. The $3.8 million project, which will add 11 truck parking spaces to the lot, is projected to be completed in September 2025. The project is also a key investment for the state. Connecticut’s freight transportation system supports more than 451,000 jobs and produces $50.5 billion annually in gross regional product, officials said.
