- Construction of 38 additional truck parking spaces at the northbound rest area – new total of 75 spaces.
- Construction of 31 additional truck parking spaces at the southbound rest area – new total of 75 spaces.
- Construction of two new trucker restroom facilities at each location

The project is anticipated to be complete in late 2027, weather permitting. Both the northbound and southbound rest areas will remain closed throughout the duration of the project. Traffic impacts are not expected on mainline I-65 during construction.
