The story that I heard was that a rest stop at the Collingwood exit was opened with public money a few years ago, but has recently gone out of business. The province is now looking for investors to re-open it. I was only half paying attention when it was on TV, so I could be wrong.
I recall being stuck in traffic for a couple of hours on the highway between Miramichi and Bathurst a couple of years ago due to an accident. Thankfully there was a truck stop right there...probably the busiest day in that place's history. Ideally there should be one at least every 20-30 km along major highways, but I'm concerned there isn't the market for them around here.
