A sinkhole opened on Thursday along the eastbound lanes of Interstate 80 in northern New Jersey, leading to lane closures. The sinkhole was found near Wharton, about 40 miles from New York City. Authorities are assessing the situation and planning repairs. The sinkhole has created a large depression on the highway's right shoulder. Traffic is currently lighter due to the holiday season, and drivers are being rerouted to a short detour to access the interstate again.
