Central Ohio – The rest areas located on US 23 in Marion and Pickaway counties and US 33 in Union County will close on January 11, so that the buildings can be demolished and replaced with new facilities.

• The Marion County rest areas are located at mile marker 131 along US 23 in both directions.
• The Union County rest areas are located near mile marker 97 along US 33 in both directions.
• The Pickaway County rest area is located on US 23 southbound near mile marker 74.

The current facilities are being replaced with a lodge-style building and will feature inside vending and Ohio tourism information.

Demolition of the current buildings is expected to take place over the winter months, and construction of the new facilities will follow.

Motorists traveling on through Ohio will find the nearest rest areas in Madison and Delaware counties, located on the map below. The Fayette County rest area located on I-71 in both directions closed in November for reconstruction. 

Once the rest areas close on January 11, drivers will be unable to use the parking lot or the building.
