Briefly: Ohio converts weigh stations to truck parking amenities
There are new truck parking areas alongside two interstates in Ohio because the state continues to transform unused weigh stations for parking.
The Ohio Division of Transportation not too long ago opened two new truck parking areas. They’ve transformed 10 weigh stations up to now and three extra are to be achieved in 2023.
The brand new truck parking is now open in Medina County on Interstate 76 eastbound between SR 3 and SR 57 and in Ashland County on Interstate 71 southbound between SR 539 and U.S. 250.
The truck parking areas may have areas for about 18 vans along with any parking on the doorway or exit ramp shoulders. No restrooms might be obtainable.
