No, not at all. Turnpike officials just telling us they're making
improvements to the pumps and they had to shut them down for a while.
They weren't more specific than improvements.
So we'll see what those improvements are once they open up again
tomorrow morning at 9 a.m. But again, no gas available here.
Thomas Edison service area here on the turnpike.
Now again, this is just affecting those of you who travel.
South, the Grover Cleveland service area is across
the Turnpike on the northbound side,
but obviously you can't access that from the southbound lanes.
You have to get off the Turnpike and turn around.
Nobody wants to deal with all that.
You don't want to have to get off the Turnpike
and find a local station, pay the tolls and get back on the Turnpike.
So again, if you're in North Jersey.
You're coming south. You usually travel south
on the turnpike or maybe you're just
getting an early start to the weekend.
You'll want to fill up before you're here because if
you wait till here and then you need gas,
you're going to run into an issue. Now, there are what
look to be new charging stations as well for electric cars,
but that is also fenced off. So
same situation there. Make sure you're charged up.
Make sure you're filled up at least until
Tomorrow morning, 9 a.m.,
because that's when these gas pumps, we're told, will reopen.
Now, if you need anything else, need to use the bathroom,
need to get some coffee, something to eat, that is all open.
The service area, as far as that's concerned, that's just fine.
No issues there.
We're seeing folks coming by.
We've been asking, you know, did you need gas when you came in?
Everybody says, no, I'm good.
I just wanted some coffee, things like that.
We just want to give you that heads up
in case you're traveling south on the turnpike.
We're live in Woodbridge, Tony Caputo, News 12, New Jersey.
