JEFFERSON CITY, Mo – The rest areas on Interstate 70 at mile marker 104 near Boonville in Cooper County will temporarily close for several months for renovations. Both the buildings and the areas for car parking will be closed, but the truck parking areas will remain open with no facilities.
Both rest areas will have improved access in line with the guidance of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the buildings will be remodeled both inside and out, including expansion to include an interior vestibule, family restroom, and vending area.
The westbound rest area will close beginning Tuesday, Jan. 21, 6 a.m. The eastbound rest area is expected to close in early February. All work, weather permitting, is expected to be complete in spring 2026.
Signs and barricades will be in place during the closures. For a map of other rest areas throughout Missouri, visit modot.org/missouri-rest-area-guide.
