Emergency crews continue to work on repair the eastbound lanes of Interstate 80 in New Jersey after a large sinkhole opened on the right shoulder Thursday morning. The New Jersey Department of Transportation said I-80 eastbound in Wharton will remain closed under further notice and drivers are advised to use alternate routes instead.

A crumbling mineshaft caused the 40-foot-by-40-foot sinkhole that closed part of the highway, state transportation officials said.

Construction crews are working around the clock to repair the ginormous hole along I-80 near Exit 40 in Wharton that caused massive traffic delays a day after Christmas.
