In a significant development for travelers heading to the Catskills this summer, the famous Mincha area at the Sloatsburg rest stop is scheduled to undergo an extensive period of closure this summer, as necessary construction work is set to take place.
The “Zichron Mordche Mincha area,” situated on the northbound NY State Thruway between exits 15A and 16, has long been recognized as a haven for road-weary travelers seeking a much-needed respite. However, it will be unavailable for use this summer.
According to Askanim, extensive efforts have been made to identify a suitable alternative location capable of adequately accommodating the influx of travelers who rely on the Mincha area. After careful consideration and consultation, the new location is now in the final stages of confirmation.
The forthcoming site is expected to offer similar amenities and services to the Mincha area, ensuring that travelers’ needs are met during their journeys. Community leaders are dedicated to facilitating a seamless transition for all those who frequently visit the rest area, fully recognizing its significance as a crucial pit stop for travelers.
Additional information regarding the new location and its anticipated opening date will be announced to the public in the coming days. Travelers are advised to stay updated with the latest developments and plan their trips accordingly, as the closure of the Mincha area will undoubtedly impact travel plans throughout the summer season.
