Arriba Rest Area closure prompts truckers to plan ahead

Truckers driving along I-70 in Colorado need to plan for changes as the Arriba Rest Area, located at mile marker 383.3, is set to close for renovations, lasting until June 2025.

The details: The closure begins on February 10, with major upgrades planned, including plumbing fixes and interior remodeling.

Once reopened, drivers can expect amenities such as dog relief areas, restrooms, and dedicated parking for commercial vehicles.
The nearest rest areas during the closure will be in Burlington, with stops in Stratton and Limon also available.

Renovations aim to enhance driver comfort and safety, a crucial concern for those spending long hours on the road.

Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) advises drivers to check COtrip.org for the latest updates on travel and road conditions.

With the Arriba Rest Area closed, trucking routes on I-70 will require careful planning until the June reopening.
