CONVOY, Ohio (WOWO) – Two rest areas along U.S. 30 will close next week in Ohio.
The Van Wert Independent reports that on Thursday, Jan. 11, the Ohio Department of Transportation will shutter the east and westbound rest stops in Convoy for demolition and replacement.
The work is expected to take about a year to complete the reconstruction.
The new rest area will feature a lodge-style design with larger restrooms, a lobby area with vending and a covered outdoor picnic area.
In May, Governor Mike DeWine announced a plan to update 33 rest areas across 17 locations with new buildings.

What???
Is that a picture of one they plan to close or is that a picture of what it will look like after it’s redone?
there’s so many truck accidents out there because there’s no place for trucks to park that is two of the largest rest areas in the state of Ohio and now you’re closing them so where is that 200 trucks going to park nowadays
they have already closed the 2 rest stops on I71 between Cincinnati and Columbus and truckers are parking along freeway and ramps. it’s riculous.
why? this causes many problems. I hope that picture is not of the one that they’re closing because that looks brand new!
