TORONTO - Those making long drives along Highway 401 will see several new rest stops along the way.

Seven service centres along the long stretch of highway have opened today.

These new centres are part of the province's program to redevelop 20 of its 23 service centres along Highways 401 and 400.

Minister of Transportation Kathleen Wynne says the opening is part of the government's plan to invest in infrastructure and create job opportunities.

The new dining selections include Tim Hortons, A&W and Coldstone Creamery, among other restaurants.
