That's true. The rest area will be blocked off, you won't even be able to drive in.
Welcome to Brown Cafe, Crazy MT!
They did that to one in Ohio, that many, many truckers would be pulled into in severe weather. Its a North south highway, and begins at Lake Erie (RT 11)
They say they closed it because some dummy sued for tripping on a crack in the side walk. So before it can be reopened they have to fix the sidewalk. I say tear out the sidewalks, it was fine when it was a footpath to an outhouse.
ANd you cannot even pull in or off, and I did use it many a times to pull in and regain my bearings when in a white out.
Yet there is a million dollars worth of machinery sitting for the eventual rehabilitation. How much is that costing, our taxpayer dollars sitting idle. Its the small things we notice that our numbskull state leaders do that help add up to the budget problems we have.
