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

A sinkhole caused by an abandoned mine has closed the eastbound lanes of Interstate 80 in northern New Jersey. The collapse created a 40-foot-wide hole, prompting detours for motorists near Wharton. Road crews are currently working to repair the damaged section. The New Jersey Department of Transportation has stabilized the area and begun excavation. It is unclear when the eastbound lanes will reopen. Drivers are advised to expect delays and use alternate routes during the repairs.
