West bound gets closed tonight for about 6 hours I believe. 11 PM to 5 AM I saw on the digital signage around the area. I think they are finding larger issues. Between the rebuild and design of Exit 30 and now this. I don't know where they are going to find the money for it.

real world when 80 was built they knew there were old mines, so all these decades latter mother nature, traffic and weight is catching up

from fuel taxes collected to pay for road maintenance.

oh wait i forgot. silly me, those monies are used to subsidize nj transit rail service, and pay to build high speed rail tunnels into nu yawk.

There is a bunch of markings on the road surface for a couple hundred feet. I drove over them this morning coming back from the rockaway area. On top of the current chaos, there was an accident at the on ramp with 15 south to 80 east. It had traffic even worse off. It was not a good thing.

Fuel taxes what are those? They use them for road maintenance? lol ( its a joke I know what fuel taxes are)
