The Alabama Department of Transportation will replace the I-65 northbound rest area near Greenville with a larger, modernized facility.
Crews will demolish the current structure and build an updated rest area in the same location. The new facility will feature additional parking, bathroom stalls, urinals, and family restrooms.
The northbound rest area will close on Monday, June 29. The northbound rest area and parking lot will be closed to the public during construction.
The recently updated southbound rest area will remain open during the northbound rest area’s upgrade.
Signs are posted along I-65 North to alert motorists of the closure in advance. The next available northbound state-maintained rest area is in Clanton. ALDOT strongly encourages motorists to utilize the Evergreen rest area before reaching Greenville.
The approximately $12 million project was awarded to S.A. Graham Company, Inc., out of Brundidge, Ala., who had the lowest bid that met the project requirements. The project is expected to last up to two years.
