PA Turnpike Advises Fuel Will Not Be Available at Hickory Run Service Plaza Starting Sept. 8

The PA Turnpike Commission advises that gas and diesel fuel will not be available at the Hickory Run Service Plaza in Carbon County, for motorists travelling northbound and southbound on the Northeastern Extension (I-476), from 7 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 8 through November 17.

For 10 weeks, the Turnpike’s fuel provider 7-Eleven will be replacing the underground fuel tanks, fuel lines and installing new fuel dispensers at the plaza’s fuel pumps.

Motorists should not stop for fuel at the Hickory Run Service Plaza located at milepost 86.1. During this 10-week period, southbound motorists should travel to the Allentown Service Plaza for fuel, approximately 30 miles south of the Hickory Run Service Plaza. Northbound motorists should travel to the next exit off the PA Turnpike for fuel.

The plaza will be open to customers and all other services will be available inside the plaza, including the restaurants, restrooms and convenient store. Motorists should enter and exit the plaza with caution, paying attention to the work zone area.
