The Huntington Travel Plaza, part of the national TravelCenters of America network, recently opened beside the freeway at Farewell Bend, about 50 miles from Baker City.
The plaza fills a retail void dating back nearly a decade in the mostly unsettled 73-mile stretch of freeway between Baker City and Ontario.
The former truck stop at Farewell Bend, which included a motel, closed in May 2011 and the buildings were later removed.
That truck stop opened in the 1970s.
For much of the time since the truck stop closed, the only place to get a meal and gas between Baker City and Ontario was at Huntington, which is about a mile off the freeway about 5 miles north of Farewell Bend.
