I-80 sinkholes

Posted by LuchAAA on Sun Mar 23 23:33:03 2025

The are major detours on I-80 at mile marker 34 in Wharton, NJ.

Traffic is being diverted in both directions.

It's a major headache for a lot of people.

Westbound might be repaired in two weeks. Eastbound in about six weeks.

Now if the Lackawanna Cutoff was rebuilt two decades ago like they said they were going to do, that wouldn't be as big of a problem as it is.

Not a geologist by any means, That said, why don't they just fill up those holes with as much concrete as they can find, then pave over that?Hope its all fixed by Memorial Day. Rte 80 is my main route from Pittsburgh and Long Island.
Too bad Amtrak cant put on another train from Pittsburgh to say Harrisburg and switch to a Keystone to NYP. I could make that work.

That would be like putting band aids on a slit throat.

I got that idea from knowing that they do that in Florida. They have businesses and contractors that specifically deal with only sinkholes.
