The sinkhole has been filled, but the eastbound lanes are still closed. The westbound lanes will close from 11 p.m. Friday through 5 a.m. Saturday as crews continue boring and testing. "I’d be lying if I say I didn’t think twice driving west the other day,” said Renne. “It was a little sketchy.”

State Department of Transportation officials will close down I-80 west late Friday night in Wharton for road testing as emergency sinkhole repairs continue on I-80 east. Beginning at 11 p.m. Friday, until 5 a.m. Saturday, I-80 west bound will be closed and traffic detoured at Exit 34B in Wharton.

Hopes of reopening Interstate 80 quickly have been dashed. A section of the eastbound lanes remains closed due to a 40-foot sinkhole​, and it won't be an easy fix.
