    So when it’s done it will have about the same amount of parking that it currently has?

    Ya seems odd. That place is huge. The rest area west of Indy on 70 needs a complete remodel, the parking is so tight I won't even consider stopping there....

    I’ve stopped in there to take a whiz already, but I agree, it’s so tight, I don’t like the idea of sleeping there

    I actully ran out of hours there once since my first 2 choices were already full. Wasnt my favorite thing but any port in a storm as they say. At the time i had a fairly short rig with a 40 foot trailer so it wasnt awful....for me at least. Guy 2 spaces down from me got his front end ripped off by a truck leaving though.

    Do not recomend parking there unless you have no other choice. Place needs a serious redesign and expansion to be around 3 or 4 times the size.

    Horrible parking aside, the worst thing about the Plainfield ones is no room to pick up speed before merging.

    The new/renovated truck stop should have valet parking.

    The actual work involved doesn't take a year or more. Why does it get drug out for so much more time than the job takes? I could only speculate. Maybe work gets rained out a lot? :rolleyes: No....gotta be something else.
