LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say the eastbound Interstate 80 rest area east of Lincoln has reopened with more floor space and accessibility for wheelchairs.
The Nebraska Department of Roads says the men’s and women’s restrooms are bigger and a family restroom has been added. The department also says an exterior viewing platform that oversees the picnic area and a sculpture has been rebuilt and features a new stairway to the grounds.
The steel sculpture by Richard Field is titled “Memorial to the American Bandshell” and was installed in 1976.
The rest area sits about four miles east of the Greenwood interchange.
