Massive sinkhole along I-80 in NJ caused by abandoned mineshaft, officials say
Briefly

The State Department of Transportation revealed that the sinkhole was caused by 'a collapse of an abandoned mineshaft' that shut down several lanes of the busy highway.
Construction workers are working nonstop to repair the hole near Exit 40 on the highway in Wharton that led to massive traffic delays a day after Christmas.
'It is too soon to estimate a specific time because of the extensive nature of the repairs and forecasted weather this weekend,' the department added.
Officials said there were no reports of injuries as a result of the sinkhole, but it caused a major traffic jam, with drivers warned to take detours.
