The New York State Thruway Authority announced the reopening of the Ramapo Service Area, located on the NYS Thruway Southbound between exit 16 and exit 15A, near Sloatsburg.

The renovation of this rest area was part of a $450 million project to develop and modernize all 27 service areas on the thruway.

“We are excited that the Service Area Project continues to progress, with two new service areas now available to customers this week, just in time for the upcoming busy Summer travel season,” Thruway Authority Executive Director Frank G. Hoare said in a statement. “…This project is just one of the many initiatives we are undertaking to enhance and modernize the Thruway system, ensuring a better and more efficient experience for all travelers.”

The updated service area includes a new 20,000 square foot facility, outdoor seating and a playground, several EV chargers, and several (non-kosher) fast food options.
