Ohio to repurpose weigh stations for trucker parking
Highway officials in Ohio are working toward helping the truck parking problem by repurposing two unused weigh stations.

ASHLAND/MEDINA COUNTY, Ohio — The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) plans to repurpose two unused weigh stations along interstates 71 and 76 in Ashland and Medina counties into big rig parking lots.

According to an ODOT news release, the I-71 southbound location is between SR 301 and U.S. 250 in Ashland County and the I-76 eastbound location is between SR 3 and SR 57 in Medina County.

ODOT said there will be no traffic disruptions along these routes during construction, which is expected to begin in early 2024.
