I-44/Turner Turnpike service plaza truck parking areas will close Thursday at Stroud for ongoing construction

The westbound I-44/Turner Turnpike service plaza at Stroud (mm 179) temporarily will have all commercial truck parking closed starting Thursday, Feb. 27, through early 2026 as part of a project to modernize and reconstruct the Stroud service plaza. This features a full reconstruction of the McDonald's and Loves Travel Stop buildings.

Motorists still will be able to access fuel, restrooms and food at the existing Love's and McDonald's facilities during construction. Commercial trucks should locate alternative long-term parking locations.

Additionally, a $38.5 million project to realign westbound I-44/Turner Turnpike lanes to the south next to existing eastbound Turner Turnpike lanes is still ongoing through early 2026.
