(Michigan City, IN) - The road have been paved for a truck stop to go up outside Michigan City.  A zoning change for Love’s Travel Center was given final approval Wednesday by the La Porte County Commissioners.

The truck stop is planned for U.S 421 just south of Interstate 94.  Water and sewer lines will start being run underneath Interstate 94 to the site in the coming weeks, said Matt Reardon with the La Porte County Office and Community Development.

Reardon said a number of companies have submitted bids already for the water and sewer line extensions.  He said as many as 50 people are projected to work at the truck stop which is expected to start being constructed in the spring.
