TxDOT's newest Safety Rest Areas is now open on I-10 in Chambers County.
Centered around a Texas history theme, the new rest areas give motorists a chance to pull off, take a break and learn a bit of Texas history. The new centers are a bit different than your average rest stop or picnic area. These are nestled in the woods near some of Chambers County's most historical places. Architects designed each building with a Southeast Texas theme. Incorporated into both the east and westbound centers are interactive displays, playgrounds and sheltered picnic areas.
Now that the new centers are operational, the two small picnic rest areas in Orange County between Vidor and Orange have been closed.

Posting the mile post numbers would have been a nice touch for those who are not familiar with the area.
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely correct! Should have done so. The mile markers for the new safety rest areas are mm 815 in Chambers County.

Marc,
DeleteDo you have the contact telephone number to this rest area. It would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Hannah
Sorry Hannah for being slow on responding to you. I don't believe there is a number posted. The maintenance division in Austin is in charge of the rest area and its function. However, you can call our main switchboard at 409-892-7311 and they can put you in touch with someone if there is an issue.
