Sinkhole closes eastbound lanes of I-80 in New Jersey after collapse into mine

A sinkhole has closed the eastbound lanes of Interstate 80 in Wharton, New Jersey, after a section collapsed into an abandoned mine. The hole measures 40 feet wide and appeared Thursday morning. Road crews are currently stabilizing the area and excavating. Repairs are ongoing, but it is unclear when the lanes will reopen. Motorists are being detoured and should expect delays. The New Jersey Department of Transportation is monitoring the situation and will work around the clock to complete repairs.
