Someone posted pictures of a supercharger under construction in Woodbridge, New Jersey to the Tesla Model 3 Facebook group. It was reported to be at Wawa on Route 9, which would be at 440 King Georges Road, Woodbridge Township NJ 08857. This would correspond to one of Tesla's "Coming Soon" in 2017 pins.

Well, as always, it may be near the pin, but the pin location doesn’t mean anything, it’s on the ‘Woodbridge Township’ name only until the SuC is put into operation. If you mean only that ‘this pin is that address’, then, sure.

That location is quite accessible as it's on Rte 9 Southbound, but just north of the intersections of I-95, I-287, Route 1 and the Garden State Parkway. The NJTP is the world's busiest roadway so I would think this SuperCharger site would be mobbed, especially by NYC folks heading home to Brooklyn, Staten Island, and Long Island where there are limited SuC locations. There is very limited shopping in the area so I don't think users will drift off and leave their cars connected long past fully charged.
actually that area is quite congested, a tangle of oddly laid out roads, there is a supercharger in place a few miles away at the menlo park mall. I don't get this placement.

Presumably here: ALDI, 450 King Georges Rd, Woodbridge, NJ 07095
Its about as good location as you could get if you're going North from the Turnpike to the Parkway, or South from the Turnpike to the Parkway.
But I agree with @kort677 Why would you put it so close to the Edison one? The Edison one isn't ideal if you're just stopping to charge, but I'd rather have another farther north than right there. Or expand the ones on the rest stops, as only 4 stalls means they can be easily overwhelmed.
Still more superchargers is more better!

Expanding NjTP SuC would be great but you'd still have to enter/exit a toll road to use. Cheesquake service area on GSP might have better than Woodbridge. I feel this issue is perceived demand with M3 rolling out versus proximity to next SuC location. Bridgewater location will be perfect for 78/287 users.
Depending on the time of day, the menlo park SC can be an hour away. Its actually really quick on/off from NJP to NJT.Also, rt9 and 1 are near by. Plus it is very heavily traveled area. WaWa wouldn't be there otherwise.

I'm actually guessing this is related to the Wawa. I think this will be at least the 4th or 5th supercharger hosted at a Wawa, if there haven't already been more. If Tesla & Wawa made a broader deal, this could simply be the next in a long string of Wawa-hosted superchargers. It does make sense: Wawa and its competitors tend to locate themselves close to major roads and interchanges; its amenities fit well with at least some people who stop to supercharge; and unlike Menlo Park, there should be no temptation to leave the car for more than an hour.
I agree the roads around there are a completely tangled mess, and frequently congested, but I still think it might be better than trying to reach Menlo Park during the holiday shopping season -- a prospect I'm afraid I'll need to contend with this Thanksgiving if this new supercharger isn't ready yet.

you're geographically incorrect, hoagies are a philly/s. jersey term. in the northern part of the state the correct term is sub.
Born and raised in North Jersey. We didn't refer to them as subs till Subway came through. Was mostly Hoagies growing up.

Also Wawa is from south of Philly so hoagies is what they make.
I'm betting you were born and raised in a Philly suburb. The word hoagie refers to hog island, where the original Navy Depot was in south Philly. Don't think that word is used in the rest of the world, and I can tell you it wasn't used in my northern NJ home town. I grew up near Woodbridge (and Edison).
And having lived in both NJ and Philly, I also agree that Wawa is a Philly area company that is spreading in all directions, including to the north, and bringing the word hoagie with them.
