The Pigeon Creek Welcome Center, which opened in 2020, is part of a $600 million 10-year plan to enhance INDOT rest areas and welcome centers statewide. This $11 million project is a component of INDOT’s 10-year plan to revitalize Indiana’s interstate rest area and welcome center properties. The center offers interactive tourism-related exhibits and information that showcase the history and industry of the local region. INDOT’s truck parking facilities surveys indicate their nearly full capacity, prompting INDOT to expand spaces, offering crucial service to truckers and better understanding high-demand truck parking locations. The truck parking expansion at Pigeon Creek allows for safer environment for trucks to have a space to park and stop. This allows for improved safety and operations of the trucks. The expansion provides more space and reliability that truckers will have the capability to stop when needed.
