  2. Open the linked Lot List corridor page and pick a private lot with a published truck-space count instead.
  3. Check the state 511 or DOT page the morning you drive. Closures open and close faster than any directory.

Rest area closures FAQ

Which interstate rest areas are closed right now?

As of 20 Oct 2026, Lot List lists 36 closed rest areas, welcome centers or public truck parking areas on 17 interstates, each from a state DOT or toll-road notice with the date Lot List checked it (between 30 Sep and 20 Oct 2026). Examples: Schodack westbound on I-90 in New York (NYSDOT, re-checked 20 Oct 2026), Onawa northbound on I-29 in Iowa (until mid-December 2026), the Lake Marion northbound rest area on I-95 in South Carolina (scheduled to reopen in 2030) and the Indiana Toll Road Exit 72 truck lot (through 20 Nov 2026). The full list is in the tables on this page. Closures change, so check the state 511 before you route.

Can I park in a closed rest area overnight?

No. When a DOT lists a rest area or truck parking area as closed, plan as if those spaces do not exist, even if the DOT amenity list still shows a truck-space count (NYSDOT Schodack still lists 12 truck spaces while closed). Use a private lot listed on the matching Lot List corridor page and follow posted signs.

Are permanently closed rest areas on this list?

Yes, when a DOT says so: INDOT lists Wolcott on I-65 as permanently closed (November 2023), MDOT permanently closed Belleville westbound on I-94 effective 22 Jun 2026, and MnDOT lists Lake Iverson eastbound on I-94 as permanently closed.

Does Lot List show live rest-area status?

No. Lot List is a planning directory. Each row shows the agency notice and the date Lot List checked it. Reported or unconfirmed closures are listed separately and labeled that way. Confirm on the state 511 or DOT page and follow posted signs before you route.
