The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) has recently announced the upcoming closure of the Northbound I-75 rest area due to essential pavement maintenance on Tuesday, August 20. This particular rest area, situated four miles south of Bowling Green at mile marker 179, will see the passenger vehicle parking lot shut down beginning at 6 a.m. The anticipated closure will extend until approximately 8 a.m. on Wednesday, August 21, during which time all restroom and refreshment services will be unavailable to visitors.

To ensure safety, barrels and barricades will be placed to prevent access to the passenger parking area. It’s essential to note that commercial truck parking will remain accessible, allowing tractor trailers to park without interruption. However, truck drivers should remain aware that restroom and refreshment facilities will be closed throughout this period.

The sealcoating maintenance is expected to be concluded within a single day, with all traffic control devices removed by Wednesday morning, August 21, thereby restoring the rest area’s full operations.
