Motorists traveling southbound on the New Jersey Turnpike in Middlesex County will need to plan ahead for fuel stops because gasoline and diesel pumps at the Thomas Edison Service Area are temporarily closed.
According to turnpike officials, all fuel pumps at the service area are unavailable while improvements are being completed at the service plaza. The closures are expected to remain in effect until Thursday, with gasoline and diesel service scheduled to resume by 9 a.m., officials said in a statement.
The service area's restrooms, convenience store and food service operations will remain open during the fuel pump closures, according to the New Jersey Turnpike Authority.
Drivers in need of fuel while traveling southbound are advised to stop at the next service area.
"The closest place to fuel up on the southbound turnpike while the pumps are closed at Thomas Edison is the Molly Pitcher Service Area, which is about 21 miles away," the Turnpike Authority said.
Officials are urging drivers to monitor their fuel levels and plan ahead until pump operations return to normal Thursday morning.
