Construction on the new TA travel plaza in Fairfield, Texas seems to be going strong, with concrete laid for the truck parking area and building of the main facility.
Local folks have been excited to welcome a 24-hour Whataburger restaurant and drive-thru.
The plaza is expected to become a major hub for TA operations on Interstate 45.
The 19-acre travel center will have eight truck fueling lanes, more than 200 truck parking areas, 80 passenger vehicle spaces, and 20 fueling lanes for cars and pickups.
In addition, the $6 million project is expected to create more than 70 jobs in the city.
The developer and owner, Zippy J’s Brenham Holdings, estimate more than $5 million in annual taxable sales.
