I-25 Exit 108 Interchange & New Pueblo Rest Area Public Survey

The Interstate 25 Pueblo Rest Area serves a growing number of motorists, commercial operators, recreationalists and local travelers. After years of heavy use, the Pinion Rest Area facilities were closed in 2020 due to lack of potable water and failing wastewater facilities. 

To better serve customers, the Colorado Department of Transportation CDOT is designing a new rest area west of I-25 at Exit 108 (Purcell Boulevard). The new rest area facility will accommodate both north- and southbound motorists on I-25. The proposed design will provide 12 fixtures for men, 12 for women and two family restrooms. The grounds will have nine picnic shelters and one large picnic area; a fenced pet relief area, separated truck, car and bus parking with 50 truck spaces and 95 car spaces; sidewalks and crosswalks to safely access the building. The location provides access to municipal water and sewer facilities and has the capacity to add a transit hub, park and ride spaces and increased freight parking.
