A huge sinkhole on I-80 in New Jersey has been filled and the highway reopened Monday after emergency repairs were made. The 40-foot sinkhole on I-80 in Wharton had completely shut down the eastbound lanes for nearly four days,

The highway's guardrail still hung suspended in the air across the gaping 40-foot-wide (12-meter) hole, which opened up when an abandoned mine collapsed under the highway's right shoulder Thursday morning, according to the New Jersey Department of Transportation.

Photos show snarled traffic and crews at the scene evaluating the extent of the damage of the sinkhole that closed a section of Interstate 80.
