Rest-area overnight framing (lead with this):
Illinois: rest-area stops may not exceed 3 hours, and sleeping on the grounds or in the building and camping are prohibited; IDOT has said publicly that trucks are generally allowed to rest overnight in the vehicle (92 Ill. Adm. Code 533). Indiana: no statewide hour cap is published — INDOT sets overnight parking site by site, and both I-70 westbound rest areas it lists (Greenfield, Plainfield) show Overnight Parking: No (INDOT Welcome Centers & Rest Areas, 105 IAC 9-1-1). Ohio: camping is prohibited at ODOT rest areas and a vehicle left unattended 3 hours may be towed (OAC 5501:2-4-01). Prefer private chain lots for a planned 10-hour break. Not legal advice.
Illinois — National Trail eastbound closed (checked 26 Sep 2026):
The IDOT Truck Parking report showed the I-70 National Trail rest area eastbound (mile post 86) as Closed at 9:38 a.m. on 26 Sep 2026. National Trail westbound (MP 87), Silver Lake eastbound and westbound (MP 27) and Cumberland Road westbound (MP 149) showed Open.
Indiana — Centerville Welcome Center westbound closed:
The INDOT Welcome Centers & Rest Areas page lists the Centerville Welcome Center on I-70 westbound as closed in February 2025 for a two-year renovation. Clear Creek Welcome Center on I-70 eastbound opened as a new facility in November 2025. The Greenfield Rest Area Westbound (MM 107, 101 truck spaces) and Plainfield Rest Area Westbound (MM 64, 32 truck spaces) pages show Open and Overnight Parking: No.
Ohio status:
ODOT’s rest-area page carried no open / closed list when Lot List checked on 26 Sep 2026, so Ohio I-70 rest-area status is unverified — check OHGO before you rely on a rest area.
