Blue Mountain Service Plaza - I-76, Mile 202.5 WB - Newburg, Pennsylvania
This is the second plaza on this site as the first one opened in 1940 along with the original 1940 alignment, The former Plainfield plaza was originally built to accommodate traffic from that period, and due
to space constraints, could never be expanded.Blue Mountain was the twelfth of 18 across the Turnpike to be rebuilt or remodeled over a four year time span as part of a
$170 million redevelopment deal between the turnpike commission and HMS Host.
The new plaza, opened in May 2008 and constructed at a cost of $7.5 million, is larger with a spacious food-court, more food selections
and contemporary restroom facilities
The plaza’s concessions includes Starbucks, Auntie Anne’s, Roy Roger’s Hershey’s Ice Cream, and Pizza Hut Express as well as a Sunoco A-Plus Mini-Mart
