The site is directly adjacent to the boundary of the Town of Penhold, within an area north and west of the QE2 & 42 overpass.

The Alberta Transportation service road along Gasoline Alley West is now closed, which required another area for commercial vehicles to pull off the highway.

Red Deer County Economic Development Officer Sandra Badry commented, “We have heard a lot of feedback from the commercial vehicle sector. They have a need for a rest area along the QE2 highway, and Red Deer County has partnered with the Alberta Transportation to respond to this need.”
