Safety rest areas
MnDOT's Safety Rest Area Program funds construction, repair and rehabilitation of rest areas and waysides. Rest areas support commercial freight movements, serve as a countermeasure to drowsy driving, and promote state and regional tourism as well as providing convenient time-saving services for travelers.
MnDOT focuses investment in rest area projects that:
- Eliminate an unsafe highway shoulder stop
- Occur at a critical location for commercial trucks
- Occur at a strategic location for promoting the state and state tourism
- Provide another safety function
- Are situated at the desired 50-60 mile spacing on the Rest Area Service Network as a countermeasure to drowsy driving and for other highway safety purposes
MnDOT Rest Area Program identifies capital investment candidate projects based on the physical condition of rest area buildings and pavements, accessibility and building code compliance, partnership potential and availability of alternative funding sources.
MnDOT Districts also identify rest area capital investment projects. These typically focus on the physical condition of rest area vehicular pavements and ramps. These projects typically use one-time funding.

How the projects scored
The construction costs shown on this list represent a rough estimate based on limited information available at the time selection decisions were made. Actual construction and delivery costs will change over time as projects go from a concept through the project development process and are eventually constructed.
