This has been a relief for many drivers on the thruway, especially for those who use it regularly for their commute. Imagine having to travel for miles just to find a place to eat, or, well, you know. 

Since the renovations began in 2022, sixteen service areas have been completed and are now open to NYS Thruway drivers, with ten more still closed and under construction.

One rest stop that was closed for a long time is finally open and ready to visit, just in time for Memorial Day weekend traveling.
