Pa (WJAC) — The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission announced that it will reopen its service plazas on Friday, after they were briefly shutdown to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19.

All 17 of the PA Turnpike service plazas will be reopened Friday at 7 a.m., according to a news release, and restrooms inside the plazas will be open 24/7.

The Turnpike Commission also said that limited food options will be available, for takeout only, from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., except for Friday, when food will not be served until 8 a.m.
