MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - The Alabama Department of Transportation
is keeping the Interstate 10 welcome center in Baldwin County
closed until it gets test results on a suspicious substance found
in a soap dispenser.
Department spokesman Tony Harris said Friday the department is
waiting on tests as a precaution.
The center was closed Monday because of an unusual odor in the
men's restroom and because the liquid soap in a dispenser in that
bathroom had an unusual color.
The center's attendants saw doctors as a precaution, but Harris
said no problems were found.
The center averages 840 vehicles stopping each day.
