Fuel Services Shut Down at King of Prussia Turnpike Plaza

BY JIM BOYLE:

Travelers on the westbound Pennsylvania Turnpike will be unable to refuel at the King of Prussia service plaza until noon Tuesday.

The Pa. Turnpike Commission advises motorists that Sunoco Monday shut-down the gas and diesel pumps at the King of Prussia Service Plaza located westbound on Interstate 276 at milepost 328.4.

Construction work to repair a section of pavement in the parking lot behind the service plaza required Sunoco to remove the fuel from the underground tanks while crews are working in close proximity to them.

Originally scheduled to be finished later this afternoon, the contractor requires additional time to complete the work and anticipates fuel services to be restored by noon Tuesday.

The nearest plaza providing gas or diesel fuel is the Peter J. Camiel Service Plaza located westbound on I-76 at milepost 304.8.
