NY Thruway rest stops will have fitness areas, drive-thrus and more – syracuse.com

Travel on the New York State Thruway is about to change.

Once the 27 plazas are rebuilt or renovated, Thruway travelers will be able to place food orders on the road and then pick them up at drive-thrus. Truck drivers can wash clothes and shower. There will even be fitness areas and climate-controlled areas for pets.

These improvements are part of a $450 million contract approved today by the New York Thruway Authoritys board. The details about what restaurants will be at what rest stops is not yet available. Nor do we know yet what rest areas will be renovated first. (This new contract does not include changes to fuel stations.)

But the Thruway did release some details about whats coming with the new contract with Empire State Thruway Partners:

Food and eating

Tourism

Children

Pets

Commercial trucking

Business

Building improvements

Neither the Thruway nor the drivers that pay tolls are paying for the renovations. Rather, the contract winner, Empire State Thruway Partners, is making the total investment. That includes $300 million in construction costs and another $103 million for maintenance over time, according to the Thruway.

The contract guarantees the Thruway at least $51 million over its 33-year lifetime. Construction is expected to being at 16 of the service areas in 2021.
