The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced recently that its rest areas off Interstate 81 in Grantville reopened on Feb. 22 after being closed in October 2019 to reconstruct the facilities. The facilities now include 10 additional truck parking spaces, a tire filling station, a fenced pet relief area, a signalized bus drop-off lane, and a Pennsylvania State Police inspection lane.
Each new facility includes modified amenities and enhancements, including new restrooms and an ADA-accessible family restroom with changing stations and toddler seats; ambulatory and ADA stalls in each restroom; and touch-free faucets, hand dryers, and flushometers. Additionally, upgraded vending machines and a water fountain with a bottle filling station have been installed at the facility.
