Massive Sinkhole Causes Major Traffic Disruptions on Interstate 80 in New Jersey
A significant sinkhole has opened up on Interstate 80 in Wharton, New Jersey, measuring approximately 40 feet deep. This has led to the closure of eastbound lanes and lane restrictions, causing extensive traffic delays and prompting multiple detours for motorists. Construction workers are actively engaged in repairs, but no estimated completion date has been provided. The situation has continued to evolve, with the highway remaining closed for multiple days as emergency crews assess the damage and work to restore access. Drivers are advised to use alternative routes to avoid the affected areas.
