LISTEN: Destruction Begins At Site For New Speedway Station In New Brighton

Out with the old, in with the new. That’s the action being set in motion on the block in New Brighton where the new Speedway gas station and convenience store will be operating starting in the summer, says New Brighton Borough Manager Tom Albanese:

 

In his interview with Beaver County Radio, Albanese said he is very pleased to see the new business coming into that section of town:

 

As far as New Brighton residents and travelers are concerned, the construction should only cause slight traffic issues between now and grand opening:

 

The new Speedway station will be located in the area of New Brighton where the former Brighton Beverage (later Fischer’s Beverage) stood.
