As covid-19 restrictions ease around the state, PennDOT is reopening indoor facilities at three additional rest areas.

The three locations opening Monday include Interstate 70 westbound in Fulton County, 1 mile east of the Maryland state line, Interstate 80 eastbound in Columbia County and Interstate 80 westbound in Columbia County.

Additional cleaning and maintenance will be performed at all reopened locations, according to a PennDOT statement.

PennDOT’s rest areas were temporarily closed statewide on March 17 in response to Gov. Wolf’s mitigation guidance regarding covid-19 to ensure that proper safety and sanitation protocols were in place. Many rest areas across Pennsylvania have since reopened.

PennDOT will continue to evaluate and determine whether additional locations can be reopened. Tourism services are not currently available.
