I noticed on I-90 both east and westbound near milepost 251ish (across from Ames Lake) that there were some guardrails on the sides of the freeway blocking what look like ramps coming off and going back on the freeway.
I decided to look at google maps and it looks like it was graded for a rest area or a weigh station.
Does anyone know what this was supposed to be or have any proposed plans they have found?
From what I can tell, it appears that there used to be a rest area, or one was planned in that area. However, because Sprague Lake isn't too far away and considering how close Spokane is, along with most states have drastically cut back on weight stations, it was probably considered not needed. I've been across the country many times on that stretch of road, between 2003 and 2008, and I don't recall there being anything in that location during that period.
