For this Design-Build project, Brandstetter Carroll Inc. provided services for the design of new interstate rest areas. The Warren County Rest Area project includes the demolition and reconstruction of both the north-bound and south-bound rest areas on I-71 at mile marker 34 in Warren County, Ohio. This project is the first implementation of the prototype rest area recently developed for ODOT. One of the driving factors for this project is the addition of semi-truck parking and high visibility of the rest area for security. Additionally, better segregation of car traffic versus truck traffic was desirable along with pedestrian circulation.
