Interstate 79 Rest Stop in Mercer County Reopened

The Interstate 79 northbound rest stop near mile marker 134 in Mercer County is reopened following a construction project.

The site was closed earlier this year so that updates could be made to the facility, including a new water treatment system, and upgrades to plumbing and electrical.  

Drivers can check conditions on major roadways by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras.
