Although the DOT announced a new detour pattern last month, residents say not much has changed and the detours continue to extend commutes everywhere

The stretch of I-80 undergoing extensive sinkhole repairs in Morris County will be closed for another two months, the state Department of Transportation said Friday. The emergency repairs have forced the shutdown of the highway between Exit 34 and the Bridge over Route 15 in Wharton since February.

New Jersey transportation officials say the roadway on I-80 in Wharton will remain closed for at least two more months. The NJDOT are working above and below the roadway around a depression that opened up in February to stabilize the area.
