Traffic Signals Turned Off For Wawa Work In Hatboro

HATBORO, PA —Traffic signals will be turned off Friday as contractors conduct work on the new Wawa convenience store at the corner of York and Horsham roads, borough officials said.

Contractor Carr and Duff will perform traffic signal work at the intersection of York Road and Horsham Road in accordance with the Wawa project for the new 5,585-square-foot convenience store on Friday.

During this time, the existing traffic signal equipment will be turned off to allow contractors to transfer equipment to the new signal pole and flagmen will be in place to direct traffic safely through the intersection, borough officials said.

The intersection will remain open to traffic throughout the duration of work on September 22nd; however, we strongly advise that motorists find an alternate route to avoid congestion and delays. Residents with questions or concerns are welcome to contact Borough Hall at 215-443-9100.

The Wawa may open sometime in November or December as borough officials said construction is "moving pretty quick."

The store has caused controversy for years after the borough lost a court battle to try and prevent it.

The borough council also recently rejected a proposal by Wawa to sell liquor in the store.
