The Meteor Crater Rest Area on I-40 east of Flagstaff has reopened to travelers after ADOT completed a renovation of the facility. The rest area, which was closed in January, received upgrades to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, improvements to the water/wastewater system, as well as architectural, electrical, mechanical rehabilitation and resurfacing of the parking lot. The work was part of a project that included the renovation of the Painted Cliffs Rest Area on I-40 near the New Mexico state line. That work was completed last September.
