Despite the rainy weekend, repairs to the sinkhole on Interstate 80 eastbound in Wharton are progressing “around the clock,” the New Jersey Department of Transportation said Sunday.

The update said installation of a wire mesh, stone aggregate and pouring a concrete layer have been completed.

However, work still needs to be completed to reconstruct the slope of the highway and to add and compact more backfill atop the concrete before adding finishing layers of asphalt.

“I-80 eastbound remains closed at Exit 34,” the update said, and reminding motorists to use the alternate routes of Exit 28 to Route 46 eastbound.

“NJDOT will provide an update on when the road will reopen once it has been determined,” the DOT notice said.

Could I-80 reopen Monday night?

On Sunday morning, Roxbury police put out a notice which said “sources” at the reconstruction scene said they hoped to have the road re-opened “tomorrow evening,” meaning Monday evening.

The notice also thanked motorists ‘for your patience over the past few days.”

“We realize the heavy traffic has been an inconvenince for everyone,” and reminded travelers to give extra time to make the detour “until they complete this repair.”
