As part of the Service Area Redesign and Redevelopment project, Empire State Thruway Partners planned different levels of service for each service area location based on sales history and traffic data over the last ten years, as well as current services offered to the traveling public and services they’d like to see in the future.
The different levels of service are also represented by size. Seventeen locations have larger buildings, greater seating capacity and larger restroom accommodations than the other sites which are smaller in size.
For example, the Pembroke Service Area is more than 20,000 square feet with six to eight food concepts, as well as commercial trucking services. In comparison, the Junius Ponds Service Area is 5,742 square feet with two food concepts and a convenience store.
*Service Area levels can be found on the Project Map within the Information tab or on the text view page.
