Ohio DOT closes two rest areas to make room for new interchange

ODOT closes two rest areas to make room for new interchange

Quote:

The northbound and southbound Interstate 77 rest areas were closed recently and will be razed to make way for an interchange at Dover. The $11.2 million project is intended to relieve congestion at the existing I-77 interchanges at Route 39 and routes 21 and 250 at Strasburg, according to an Ohio Department of Transportation press release.

Pugh said he agrees that the interchange project is needed to keep trucks from having to route through residential areas on routes 21 and 250. However, he believes ODOT rushed ahead with the project and didn’t address the need for truck parking.

Reopening the shuttered weigh stations at Bolivar, OH, a few miles from where the rest areas were closed, is one option Pugh proposes. Instead, those scales, which were closed nearly two years ago, were barricaded against parking.
