The centers, one on each side of Interstate 70, near Myersville, closed for renovation in the spring of 2008 and reopened last summer upon completion of roughly $18 million in upgrades that greatly expanded the size of the restroom and visitor center buildings.
The project also included about $3 million for a wastewater-treatment center, for a total cost of about $21 million, State Highway Administration officials have said. About half of that, $10.7 million, was federal funding, and the rest was state funding.
The new buildings are silver-certified under LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.
