Why has eastbound restarea at 86 mile marker been closed for the last 5 years
I was unable to find any answer on the Illinois Department of Transportation website.
Is the Mississippi Rapids Rest Area at I-80, Milepost 1 in Illinois open 24 hours/day?
Rest areas are typically open 24 hours a day. The Illinois Department of Transportation website indicates their rest areas are open 24 hours but a little bit of research indicates the bathrooms at this location may close at 9pm. This website is not associated with the Illinois DOT and therefore cannot provide you with an official answer. I suggest contacting the DOT or perhaps some website visitor will have first-hand knowledge about this location.
