Changes

Once you are inside the service station, you can cross the highway easily. Enter the building and go up on the stairs to the restaurant. Now go down on the other side of the highway. Attention: You are not able to cross the highway in the morning, because the restaurant is closed. But if you have luck, the barmen will help you.

You have to get to the first service area on the highway about 20 kms from the centre. It is called ''Castel Bentivoglio''. There is a bus stop close by, called ''Bentivoglio Zona industriale Barche'' (often abbreviated like ''Bentivoglio Z. i. Barche''). Some of the bus lines only go few times a day, mainly in the morning and evening, taking (very helpful) workers to work and back home. Easiest is to take #376 or #377 which go directly from the Bologna central bus station 4-6 times a day (timetable [http://www.atc.bo.it/orari_percorsi/linee/pdf/atc_01376.pdf]). You can also use the route planner of the Bologna public transport company here: [http://www.atc.bo.it/orari_percorsi/planner/plannerEN.asp]. For the arrival town, put ''Bentivoglio'', for the stop: ''Bentivoglio Z. i. Barche''.

From the bus stop, you take the road parallel to the highway. You pass some factories, the highway should be behind them. After 500 m there is a crossroad to the right. The service area is just at the end of it. There is a fence, but I had no problem of getting in, the door was open. If it is closed, you can try to ring or ask for the help of the 'locals'.
