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.
