DOT Awards $30 Million Towards Truck Parking Projects
The Department of Transportation has allocated over $30 million to transportation projects aimed at establishing 210 new truck parking spaces and three new rest areas in Ohio, Wisconsin, and Nevada.
The funds come from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and was distributed via the Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA) program.
Ohio: will receive nearly $18 million for a truck parking expansion project that will repurpose two closed rest areas into truck parking facilities. One on I-70 eastbound near New Paris with 100 truck parking spaces and the other on I-80 eastbound near Hubbard with 38 truck parking spaces, per the US DOT.
Wisconsin: will receive $12.5 million towards I-43 safety rest areas and truck parking expansions. This project will increase the availability of safe truck parking facilities between Green Bay, WI and Chicago, IL, to help eliminate commercial vehicle operators from parking in unsafe or unauthorized areas.
Nevada: As part of their I-80 East Lane Addition and Shoulder Widening project, 50 new truck parking spots will be created.
