The Connecticut Department of Transportation
(ConnDOT), in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA),conducted a study on Connecticut’s rest
areas and service plazas. The study evaluated the state’s overall needs, requirements,
and options for rest areas and service plazas and also evaluated the needs of each individual existing facility. The
study resulted in a long-term plan to move Connecticut
to the forefront of states providing highway rest facilities
and traveler services and also recommended specific facility
improvements.
