The Milford Northbound Service Plaza has reopened in Milford featuring a variety of options including food, fuel, and retail offerings.

They are all now available at the newly reopened Milford Service Plaza located on the Connecticut Turnpike (Interstate 95) between exits 41 and 40.

The Connecticut Department of Transportation reports the northbound service plaza underwent $14 million in renovations which began when the plazas closed in December 2010.

Food offerings at the newly reopened plaza include Subway, McDonald's, Dunkin' Donuts, Sbarro, Good-to-Go Organics, and Robeks Premium Smoothies. Motorists can fuel up with Mobil gasoline and shop at the Fast Freddy's convenience store and a store called "Statement".
