REST AREAS * USA - Virginia to reopen ones
VA,USA -eTrucker -20 Jan 2009: -- Acting on an appeal by new Virginia Gov., Bob McDonnell, the Commonwealth Transportation Board voted Jan. 20 to reopen 19 highway rest stops that were closed last year by the former governor to save money... Former Gov., Tim Kaine, said it would take about $3 million to operate the rest stops through the rest of the state fiscal year that ends June 30. That money will come from highway maintenance accounts... Thousands of truckers and other drivers and businesspeople had complained about the rest stop closure last year...
