Monster sinkhole opens along major NJ highway, leading to closures, traffic delays

A mammoth sinkhole opened along a major New Jersey interstate Thursday morning, closing several lanes and pushing motorists onto local roads to avoid the pit.

The sinkhole — which appeared large enough to swallow several cars — opened on the shoulder of Interstate 80 in Wharton sometime around 7:45 a.m., according to NJ.com.

Construction crews swarmed the area around Exit 34 as they tried to work out a solution to the post-Christmas surprise.

Meanwhile, the state’s Department of Transportation closed the eastbound lanes — leading to a lengthy backup that clogged the highway.

“Motorists should expect delays or plan an alternate route,” a DOT news release said.

Hah. Last night as I was just getting off US-30, some joker went through the green light at the end and started coming up the wrong side of the on/off ramp. I had to dive onto the shoulder to not hit him head-on.

Is it too early to blame this on Trump?

It's a decent sized sinkhole, but just not up to Florida standards.

A local reporter interviewed the owner of a near by tavern. The owner told him there are shut downed iron mines sprinkled around the state of NJ area. Sure enough when the reporter looked at a map pinpointing the location of the old mines, one was several 100 ft near the sinkhole.

If your cat wanders over to investigate it, do not go after it.

I remember a road trip ten years ago that included the interstate highways in NV, AZ, and CA.

The interstate highways in CA were definitely poorer quality than AZ and NV.

Such is what happens when Communist Run states do not spend money on critical infrastructure.
