Valley travelers headed to California this summer will find a renovated rest area on their way to and from the coast.
The Arizona Department of Transportation announced this week that the Bouse Wash Rest Area on Interstate 10, about 100 miles west of Phoenix, has reopened following a year-long renovation project.
Improvements include upgrades to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, replacing restroom fixtures and expanding the parking lot. Also, renovations improved and modernized ramadas, water and wastewater systems, vending buildings and other equipment.
