I-90 Thruway Rest Stops: Pattersonville Highlight
MZ Construction took on the renovation of the Pattersonville Rest Area as part of the NYS Thruway’s I-90 improvement initiative. This project balanced modern upgrades with a respect for original features, including the iconic wood ceilings in the entryway. Covering framing, drywall, and the installation of acoustical USG ceiling panels, our team aimed to create a welcoming and functional space for travelers.
MZ’s use of digital layouts streamlined the project by minimizing on-site adjustments and maximizing precision. Key materials, such as CertainTeed’s GlasRoc Tile Backer, were chosen for moisture resistance and fire protection, ensuring that this high-traffic area is built to last.
The project stages began with framing the truckers' lounge, shaping it into a comfortable, dedicated area. Throughout each phase, MZ coordinated closely with subcontractors to manage overlapping tasks and maintain efficient progress.
