I drive up to Maine regularly from the south. In recent years, they’ve close those rest stops long before dark. IIRC, they’ve been closing at 3pm in recent years. I totally understand why, but it’s such a shame because we always seem to have to stop to “go” right around the time we get to Connecticut, usually get there after three, and I hate trying to figure out which exits will allow us to get back on the Interstate quickly (few exits along I-84 in CT let you see how far the gas stations or fast food places really are).
Exit 70 in Willington is a Travel truck stop. Easy off easy on. About 15 miles before the mass line.
