Not sure whether this belongs here, or whether it's an obvious question/answer. Are the Eisenhower Interstate Rest Areas mostly open with bathroom access and vending and other amenities? If you travel the freeways regularly, what has been your recent experience? ,I'll assume the parking is open for truckers and other general commercial travelers for safety reasons (break time, sleep, etc.).Are most scales and inspection stations open or closed?

Different areas, different answers

Yesterday. I-80, SW WY to 40-189. Heber City, UT, Provo, UT. I-15 south to our 5th wheel in our spot, Mesquite, NV.UT I-15 rest areas are open including rest rooms. Flying J and Shell station restrooms open.Phillips 66 C-store, Springville, UT, restrooms closed.Ports of Entry open.Plenty of hand wipes in the truck. “Social Distancing” observed. More traffic than expected.

What states will you be traveling through? I'd check the different state's websites to see if there's info on them.

If there's any doubt I can check that before departure. I was curious about the many other highways and biways, and what folks were actually seeing out there. We aren't heading out any time soon it appears.:?:(Thanks for the input. It's all good.:)Just had a look at MIDrive and the welcome centers are closed UFN.

Texas rest areas restrooms remain open (as of 4 days ago) with an "enhanced cleaning schedule". No tourist assistance staff are on duty.

Your travel is necessary?

Your need for vending machine access is required?
