A 15-foot sinkhole has opened on westbound I-80 near a construction zone, forcing traffic detours at Exit 34. The New Jersey Department of Transportation warned that closures could last up to two months as repairs continue. Officials say the area, known for underground voids, has experienced repeated collapses, with eastbound lanes already undergoing repairs. The sinkhole, which formed in the median, adds to growing concerns about the structural integrity of one of America’s busiest highways. Drivers have been urged to seek alternate routes as crews assess the damage.
