While construction is taking place the rest areas will be completely closed to the public, ODOT said.
The new “lodge-style” building will include larger restrooms with adult changing tables, a lobby area with vending and regional tourism information, and an attached covered outdoor picnic area.
ODOT warned that as a result of the closure more commercial driers may be parked alongside on-ramps and exit ramps in the area.
The nearest rest areas on I-75 will be those located just north of Wapakoneta.
