About

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will be reconstructing the southbound Interstate 95 (I-95) rest area at mile marker 227 between Deering Parkway and State Road (S.R.) 46 in Mims. Truck parking will be expanded from 33 spaces to 79 spaces. This additional parking serves a critical need for freight traffic, which is essential to Florida’s growth and economy. Additional improvements include building a fenced-in pet area, expanding restroom facilities to include family rooms with adult changing tables, adding infrastructure for future electric vehicle charging stations, and incorporating real-time traffic and safety information via monitors in the rest area breezeway.
