Sinkhole closes I-80 east near where collapse of an abandoned mine caused massive sinkhole
A sinkhole closed the highway’s right lane in Wharton for several days in late December while crews repaired the damage. The DOT blamed the sinkhole on a collapsed, abandoned mine. Drivers need to make a similar detour around the latest sinkhole by using Exit 28 to take Route 46 east or Route 10 east to avoid the area.
