Drivers on I-80 in New Jersey will soon benefit from the reopening of two eastbound lanes next week, following months of repairs due to sinkholes. The situation required a state of emergency declaration from Governor Murphy, as continued concerns from nearby residents arose from structural damage. Investigations revealed that 400 mineshafts beneath the highway contributed to the sinkhole issues. While the eastbound lanes are reopening on May 20, westbound lanes are also set to reopen soon, with full road access anticipated by late June.
The I-80 shut down in Wharton due to sinkholes will see two eastbound lanes reopen next week, marking progress in a long-standing repair effort.
Approximately 400 mineshafts are under investigation, contributing to the road issues, prompting Governor Murphy's declaration of a state of emergency.
