Renovated Fairfield Service Plaza Reopening on I-95 North

The newly renovated I-95 Fairfield Northbound Service Plaza will open on Friday, Dec. 12 at 12 p.m.

The plaza is the 19th of 23 Connecticut highway service plazas to be completely renovated. The Fairfield Northbound Plaza includes Subway, Dunkin’ Donuts, McDonald’s, an Alltown Convenience Store and an ExxonMobil gas station.

Fairfield Northbound, as well as all the other plazas that have been or will be renovated, has a series of “green” features.

The service plaza will qualify to operate to “Silver LEED” standards.

The Madison facility will utilize photovoltaic solar panels, which decreases its dependence on traditional power sources. Each service plaza also has facilities for single-stream recycling and idle-reduction technology for tractor-trailers. Other environmentally conscious features include water-efficient rest rooms, energy-efficient insulation and lighting, state-of-the-art and super-efficient heating and air conditioning units.

“Our Connecticut Services Plazas team is excited to provide great food choices, clean restrooms, fuel and convenience to the large number of travelers who pass through the Fairfield area,” said Paul Landino, President and CEO of Project Service. “We have completed 19 of the service plazas so far, and look forward to continuing to serve those traveling on Connecticut’s highways as we work to renovate the remaining service plazas in the state.”

Project Service LLC has a 35-year contract with the state to renovate and operate the service plazas. All 19 Service Plazas are open 24 four hours a day. Each Service Plaza offers different food options; some of these options include Subway, McDonald’s, and Dunkin’ Donuts. Each Service Plaza also features an Alltown Convenience Store and an ExxonMobil gas station. The plazas have clean restrooms, free WiFi and backup power generators for use during a power outage.
