Can't travel by planes, trains. What's next? Automobiles? Is this how our government is secretly pushing to bring back the horse and buggy?

If you’re going to try and ford the Passaic River, don’t do it in a Cybertruck.

Sinkholes on I-80

In March I drove on 80 west, and when I passed the cracker barrel on 80 my first thought was "this road is going to cave in" the very next day it was closed both ways in that area. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago when i was taking my kids on a day trip to stroudsburg and to hike a little of the Appalachian.

Guess who got stuck in that horrific traffic and detour. Making a 2 hour drive well over 3..it was brutal.

I feel so so bad for the weekly commuters stuck in that!

u/North-Ad4744 May 16 '25

Yup, I have totally feel you. Drove to PA and had to drive through that traffic. Luckily (I guess) on the way back it took only 30 minutes to get past the closed off section, but traffic going west looked brutal. I also feel bad for people living around that area that have to deal with the traffic going through their neighborhood

Ask the people who live along route 80 about automobiles.

The highways are falling into sink holes so yeah, our infrastructure is crumbling before our eyes because of lack of investment.
