The Memaloose Rest Area on Interstate 84 six miles east of Mosier will temporarily close to allow for the completion of a rest room building renovation and expansion project.  The Oregon Travel Information Council says the eastbound parking lots and facilities will close starting today, while westbound parking lots and facilities will close on or around May 1.  The westbound exit will remain open to allow access to the entrance of Memaloose State Park.  Both sides of the rest area will open to the public by July 1.  The Memaloose Rest Area Building Renovation and Expansion Project will upgrade and expand the existing facilities to improve restroom capacity, ensure compliance with ADA standards, and implement necessary building improvements by adding approximately 200 square feet to the women’s and men’s facilities.  The Travel Information Council approved the expenditure of $1.7 million dollars for the project, allocated by the Oregon Legislature.
