Construction Begins on New West Hempstead Hess [Photos]

Workers broke ground this week on Hempstead Turnpike gas station.

Construction began this week on a new Hess Express gas station on Hempstead Turnpike in West Hempstead. It will replace the old Hess station that was torn down earlier this year.

The busy station is located between Peach Grove Drive and Oakland Avenue.
Crews were on the scene for the past few days erecting safety fencing, removing underground tanks, and preparing for a new convenience store on the site.
Up next, they will be installing a new pump and repairing the surrounding sidewalk and driveway. No completion date was available at this time.
