Truck parking expansion project underway in Connecticut
Summary
The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) on Friday announced it launched a $31 million statewide project aimed at expanding truck parking facilities at five key locations across the state. The first phase of the project is underway at the Middletown rest area on Interstate 91 northbound, which will add 11 new truck parking spaces, increasing capacity at this location by more than 40%. “During the COVID-19 pandemic, we heard truckers loud and clear when they called for more places to safely park along state highways,” said CTDOT Commissioner Garrett Eucalitto. In addition, Singh made false statements on an application filed with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration stating that he had no relationships with other FMCSA-regulated entities. Boasting an elevated appointment warehouse, a driver rest facility, truck shop and more, the new state-of-the-art Louisville service center highlights Southeastern’s continued commitment to meeting the evolving needs of its customers, supporting the well-being and development of its associates, and enhancing overall operational efficiency, the company said.
