SAYREVILLE – A new Wawa with gas pumps and a pickup lane was approved for Main Street and Crossman Road across the street from QuickChek.
Highpoint Investments of Sayreville, LLC, the property owner, received preliminary and final major subdivision and site plan approval with conditions from the Zoning Board of Adjustment last week to subdivide the property at 880 Main St. into two lots and construct the project,
The approximately 16.55-acre site is located in the southwest corner of Main Street and Crossman Road in an industrial zone.
The new store will replace the Wawa at 42 Washington Road, according to a company official.
It's an older model that has been there 45 years, Michael Redel, a real estate project engineer with Wawa, said.
Upon subdivision, Lot A will consist of 3.2 acres. Lot B will consist of 13.3 acres.

A use variance was requested to use Lot A for the 6,732 square foot Wawa convenience store and associated fueling stations.
The fueling station will have six fueling islands with two pumps per island for a total of 12 pumps, Mark Shenoda, an engineer with French & Parrello Associates said.
Lot B is improved with an existing bus depotand related facilities. No change to the facility is proposed.
The new Wawa will feature a FlyThru Pickup Lane on the eastern portion of the building, where patrons can pick up orders that are placed on the mobile app, Shenoda said.
The new store will be open 24 hours a day. It will employ about 12 employees at the peak shift.
Wawa will lease the property, Redel said.
On the western portion of the property is Burt's Creek. There's wetlands and a flood hazard area in the rear of the property.
There is groundwater contamination on the property, Shenoda said.
"Our engineering controls are separating any contact with that groundwater," Shenoda said.
Middlesex County is in the process of preparing improvements for this intersection, including a right of way dedication, Shenoda said. The county is also proposing a new signal timing for the intersection, he said.
Two 30-foot-wide drive aisles are proposed on Main Street and Crossman Road, he said.
The plan includes removal of 192 trees, most of which are small caliber, sort of junk trees, Shenoda said. They will add a greater number of trees back.
A Wawa with gas pumps is located at 969 Route 9 in the borough.
In January, it was announced that QuickChek signed a lease for nearby space at the Gateway Services portion of Riverton, the planned 418-acre $2.5 billion development on the banks of the Raritan River.
