The New York State Thruway Authority announced yesterday the reopening of the modernized Warners Service Area on I-90 westbound at mile marker 292. “The location is the 15th new service area to open to Thruway customers as part of the $450 million private investment to redevelop and modernize all 27 Thruway service areas and the first of five select service areas that will include an adult changing station to improve accessibility for all motorists.” State Senator Pam Helming (R-54) is credited with advocating for the changing stations, which provide a private and secure space for caregivers to assist people with disabilities. The new service plazas at Angola, Ontario, Pattersonville and Sloatsburg also will include the amenity. Applegreen, the service area operator and an affiliate of the state’s modernization project partner, predicts 25 service plazas will be renovated by the end of this year.
