Bridgeport officials and developers gathered today to announce the upcoming Steel Point Express, a state-of-the-art gas station and car wash that will be a major addition to the Steel Point redevelopment project. The facility, which will span over two acres, is set to feature a variety of amenities aimed at enhancing convenience and service for local residents and visitors alike.

The development will include a full-service gas station, a modern car wash, and a drive-through Dunkin’ Donuts. Additionally, a full deli will be available, catering to the needs of the neighborhood and the thousands of motorists traveling along I-95 each day.

“This is what this site is going to be, and what people will be able to see from I-95,” Kristoff stated. “Hundreds of thousands of vehicles pass by this location, and now they’ll have the opportunity to stop, visit Bridgeport, and leave with a great experience.”

A key figure in the development said, reinforced that this project is more than just a gas station. The Steel Point Express will feature 24-hour food service within its 4,200-square-foot facility, addressing the community’s demand for convenient retail options.
