The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is set to convert a closed rest area on I-80 in Hubbard Township into a truck parking facility. This project will add 38 parking spaces, restrooms, lighting, and security cameras starting in 2026.
Why it matters: Truck parking is critical for drivers who need safe and accessible places to rest during long hauls. This new facility will be a welcome addition for truckers traveling near the Ohio/Pennsylvania state line.
- The site will be funded by a grant from the Nationally Significant Multimodal Freight and High Projects fund.
- The facility will also include green space, demonstrating a focus on both functionality and environmental considerations.
What's next: ODOT has encouraged feedback from the community and interested parties. Those with comments or questions can reach out to Brian Peck, Environmental Specialist, at ODOT District 4.
