Wawa Work May Cause Traffic Delays In Hatboro

HATBORO, PA —The gridlock on York and Horsham roads might be a little more cluttered over the next few days.

Hatboro officials said Wednesday that motorists and residents should be alert for contractors working on the new Wawa convenience store.

The contractors will be performing curb work at the intersection of York and Horsham roads Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Monday.

Both York Road and Horsham Road will be open during the period of work, but there may be increased traffic and delays in the area while work is taking place, borough officials said.

The Hatboro Police Department will conduct extra patrols in the surrounding neighborhoods while work is taking place to provide extra traffic enforcement.

Motorists are advised to avoid the intersection if possible to reduce delays.

Work is progressing on the new 5,585-square-foot Wawa convenience store, a store that has caused controversy for years after the borough lost a court battle to try and prevent it.

Crews are at work building the foundation for the store, with plans calling for six gas pumping stations and 54 parking spots.

The Wawa isn't expected to be completed until the end of the year with the building taking at least six months to construct, borough officials said.

Anyone with questions or concerns regarding the work should contact Borough Hall at 215-443-9100.
