PARSIPPANY — A sinkhole has developed on Interstate 287 northbound in Parsippany-Troy Hills, prompting lane closures.
According to the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT), as of 4:15 p.m., the two left northbound lanes are closed just north of Exit 41.
This incident marks yet another sinkhole affecting a major Morris County highway. NJDOT is already addressing two active sinkholes on Interstate 80 in Wharton, in addition to one that was repaired in December.
Motorists are advised to expect delays and seek alternate routes if possible.
Parsippany Focus spoke to Senator Pennacchio, who stated, “They were finally able to dewater the hole. Plans show an abandoned pipe in front of the inlet. The next step is to put a camera down to see if the pipe has collapsed. We will have more information later.”
