Does sale of gas at the Montvale rest area stop on March 3rd?

Answer 1

Here is the response I got from the NJ Tpk Authority In response to your fuel station inquiry, our office prepared the following information for your review and consideration: * Monday, March 3, 2008 - At 6:00 AM, the LukOil Service Station will temporally suspend its fueling operations to allow the company to complete its scheduled capital improvement program. The scope of the capital improvement program involves replacing the existing Underground Storage Tank system. * 12 Week Long Renovation Project: Due to the scope of the project and the nature of the work involved, the Authority and LukOil believe the temporary closure is a safety measure and would expedite the overall completion time of the project. We anticipate the proposed work will be completed prior to Memorial Day Weekend. In attempt to minimize the Impact on the majority of our patrons during the project, the Authority schedules this type of work during our off-peak driving seasons compared to our heaviest driving seasons like summer and/or major holidays. * Roadway Advisories: In an effort to advise motorists during of the renovation construction project, the Authority will use a combination of roadway construction signage (orange/black signs) and portable variable message sign trailers similar to the one you saw today. In the near future, the Authority anticipates unveiling its Highway Advisory Radio (HAR) system supporting the northern terminus of the Garden State Parkway. When this system is activated roadway signage will offer radio frequency Information permitting motorists to receive traffic updates, Parkway construction or roadway emergency information through their vehicle's radio system. * Montvale Service Area Operations: The scheduled Service Station renovation project will not force us to close the Service Area (restaurants) managed by HMSHost Corporation, our designated Service Area Operator. * Available Fuel Service: Fuel service will be available at the remaining Service Area facilities operating on the Garden State Parkway: The Last Northbound Service Station: During the renovation project, the LukOIl Service Station/Brookdale Service Area - North, Milepost 153.3, north located between Exits 151 and 153 will serve as the last fuel stop on the Parkway before the New York State Border. The First Available Southbound Service Station from New York: During the renovation project at the Montvale Service Area, the LukOil Service Station/Brookdale Service Area - South, Milepost 153.3 South located between Exits 153 and 151 will become the first available southbound fuel stop on the Parkway upon entering the state from New York. We hope the provided information is helpful. Thank you for contacting the New Jersey Turnpike Authority and for your inquiry involving the LukOil Service Station affiliated with our Montvale Service Area.
