Wawa Construction Set to Resume Today

Construction crews will be on site today at the new Wawa at Philmont Ave. & Red Lion Rd.

There was a lot of action surrounding the decision of whether or not to allow a Wawa gas station in Lower Moreland Township. After months of meetings a ruling was finally made to allow the construction at the intersection of Philmont Ave. & Red Lion Rd. But if you've seen the property over the last two months, there hasn't been much action going on at all. Developers were supposed to continue at the start of November, however, that hasn't happened. The land was cleared out months ago, however, there has been a delay in building the actual Wawa structure.

Wawa Construction to Continue in November

The building of the Wawa gas station at Red Lion Rd. and Philmont Ave. is expected to resume next month.

If you drove by the intersection of Red Lion Road and Philmont Avenue sometime during the summer, you saw construction workers diligently working to get the land ready for the new Wawa gas station that was approved about a year ago. Recently, however, motorists who travel on that road on a daily basis may have noticed a lack of workers on the site.  The development of the site is currently in a holding pattern of sorts. The developer was responsible for clearing out the land, taking care of the underground storm water issues, and creating a right-hand turn lane on Red Lion Road. Now it is up to Wawa to build the actual building and install the fueling stations. According to the township, Wawa is supposed to start this construction in …
