Meteor Crater rest area to close for renovations
Arizona Daily Sun
March 10, 2005

The Meteor Crater rest area along Interstate 40 will close March 21 for
about one year to undergo major renovations, stated an Arizona
Department of Transportation press release. The rest area is located
between Flagstaff and Winslow, near milepost 235. The closures will
include both westbound and eastbound rest stops.

With the closure of the Meteor Crater rest area, there will be no
state-provided rest stops for approximately 178 miles along I-40. The
nearest rest area to the west is at milepost 180, in Parks, and to the
east at milepost 358, in Lupton, near the Arizona-New Mexico state line.

Show Low Construction was awarded the $7 million project. Construction
crews will demolish and rebuild the restrooms, ramadas, parking areas
and caretaker facilities. Additionally, crews will upgrade the sewer
infrastructure.
