I-80 in Wharton, N.J. fully reopens after months of sinkhole repairs

I-80 in Wharton, New Jersey fully reopened Saturday (6/21) after months of sinkhole repairs.

There was one last full closure Friday night so all three eastbound lanes could be paved and traffic stripes could be added. All westbound lanes reopened last week.

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy announced the State of Emergency declared back in March due to the construction and closures would be lifted effective 5 p.m. Saturday.

The major highway has been partially shut down to repair a series of sinkholes that started appearing last December and kept developing.
