Renovations have been completed on the last I-95 northbound service plaza in Connecticut giving travelers a new place to stop.
Those traveling northbound on Interstate 95 have a new place to make a pit stop thanks to the reopening of the Madison Service Plaza.
Sheri Dell, from Project Service LLC, said the plaza reopened Friday, Nov. 21 at 12 p.m. with several tenants including Subway, Dunkin’ Donuts, Alltown Convenience Store, and Mobil.
It is located past exit 61 and is the last service plaza in the northbound direction on Interstate 95.
It formerly housed a McDonald’s and Mobil gas station.
The next pit stop on I-95 northbound is the Connecticut Welcome Center in Westbrook past exit 66.
According to the New Haven Register, the Madison northbound service plaza cost $5.5 million to build while the larger southbound facility cost $7.5 million.
