ST. JOSEPH – The Missouri Department of Transportation, working with Emery, Sapp & Sons, has completed a project that will give commercial vehicles access to more parking off Interstate 35. The new truck parking facility opened today, Thursday, May 23, and is located on southbound I-35 near Lathrop in Clinton County.
The project began in March 2023 and converted the southbound rest area into a truck parking facility. The project added eight truck parking spaces, allowing for a capacity of 20 total spaces. In addition, crews also installed new lighting and vault toilets at the location.
Crews also converted another truck parking facility located near Dearborn on southbound I-29. That location opened on Nov. 22, 2023.
