Ground has been broken on a new truck stop near Edinburg just off of Illinois Route 29. The project to build the truck stop got its official start in a ground breaking ceremony that was attended by several people involved in the project, as well as members of local area governments. Carl Adams, Vice President of the Illinois Ayers Ayerco Convenience Centers said that the contractors have been hired, and the first step of the project is getting the concrete on the lot poured.

Adams said that he’s thrilled to see the work start on the project.

The estimated completion date for the project is a 90 day timeframe. The project did have to downsize some due to the lack of a food partner, however plans do allow for expansion should a food partner sign on with the location.
