No info or updates stated for VERY IMPORTANT time location .April 8, 2024 Total eclipse passes nearest the Rend Lake I-57 rest areas, 5 miles apart. But another map/state source online says BOTH buildings are closed (and one is a Welcome Center!) but parking lots are open. Be prepared with your own porta potty bucket if you are planning to be there early and stay for 5 hours or more to watch event.
222 northbound- Building closed 6/30/23 no restrooms available. Looks temporary, no advanced warning.
74 was clean and has a kid play area. IL coloring books and pins for the kiddos.
thanks for the input headed up that way June 8th
Have a nice trip!
332 is closed but It doesn’t tell you ahead of time. Have to go to the bathroom outside. There are gas stations and restaurants just a couple of miles ahead but unfortunately some people don’t know that. Please put a sign up on the highway to indicate that the restrooms are closed.
