Officials say the hole was caused by a collapsed drainage pipe, unlike I-80 sinkholes

Yet another sinkhole has opened under a highway in Morris County, causing headaches for travelers and adding to headaches for state crews trying to shore up some of New Jersey's busiest roadways. The new sinkhole opened Friday evening on I-287, along the left shoulder of the northbound lanes near exit 41B. Crews worked over the weekend to get two lanes open for Monday morning’s commute.
