    How about "west bound' can you get off at EX2


    You can get off on Saw Mill Rd, take a left and get on east bound. The problem will be getting back on west bound. You'd have to go back to exit 4. If you plug it into google map, using "Connecticut Welcome Center" you'll see what I mean. During rush hour this area is pretty busy.
  • I'm originaly grom CT. just seen on the Hartford news 2 days ago, that they are out of money and are going to close all the rest areas.Just put all the highway const. jobs on hold. Now I know that's way I no longer live there.
  • CT is always out of money. They put out the press release saying that they'll be closing some state run entity at least 3 times a year.

    The guy I bought my Sahara from was so sick of CT that he was selling everything and moving to the Dominican Republic. Good for me, bad for Connecticut. He's not an isolated case. Businesses are also relocating.

    Kinda like the government.
  • Well if they do close it you can always stop at Mohegan Sun Casino they have safe, free overnight parking also.

    Have a nice trip.
