Visitor & Driver Tips

When traveling to 2811 Turnpike Industrial Drive, enter the address into your GPS navigation system and watch for the Turnpike Industrial Park signage off Fulling Mill Road. While local traffic flow within the industrial park remains steady throughout the day, peak commuter traffic along the PA-283 interchange can build during morning (7:00 AM – 9:00 AM) and evening (4:00 PM – 6:00 PM) rush hours. During central Pennsylvania winter weather events, exercise standard caution as open-air surfaces may experience frost or snow accumulation before grounds maintenance is completed. Commercial drivers planning overnight parking or vehicle staging should contact facility management in advance to confirm designated spaces.
