Traffic is closed to Prenn Pass to address landslides caused by natural disasters.

In Lam Dong province, Prenn Pass will be temporarily closed to traffic from January 9th to 15th to address a landslide and ensure the safety of people and vehicles.

The Department of Construction of Lam Dong province has just issued Notice No. 09/TB-SXD prohibiting people and vehicles from circulating on the Prenn Pass road, the section from the foot of Prenn Pass to in front of Datanla Waterfall Tourist Area, located in Xuan Huong ward - Da Lat.

According to the announcement, the traffic ban will be in effect from 5:00 AM on January 9, 2026 to 5:00 AM on January 15, 2026. The road closure is to facilitate repairs and address the landslide at Km224+650 on the Prenn Pass, a location with a high risk of accidents following the impact of natural disasters and prolonged heavy rain.

This decision was made by the Department of Construction based on a proposal from the No. 1 Investment and Construction Project Management Board, after relevant agencies agreed on the construction organization plan and traffic diversion. Prenn Pass is a vital transportation route connecting the old center of Da Lat City with National Highway 20, with a high volume of traffic, so addressing the landslide was identified as an urgent requirement to ensure long-term safety.

During the traffic ban, people and vehicles traveling from the old central area of ​​Da Lat city to neighboring localities and vice versa are advised to proactively choose alternative routes such as Mimosa Pass on National Highway 20 or Sacom Pass (Tuyen Lam Lake). According to authorities, these routes are currently operating stably, meeting the travel needs of residents and tourists.

The traffic ban will be in effect from 5:00 AM on January 9, 2026 to 5:00 AM on January 15, 2026. The road closure is to facilitate repairs and address the landslide at Km224+650 on the Prenn Pass, a location with a high safety risk following the impact of natural disasters and prolonged heavy rain.

The Department of Construction has assigned Project Management Board No. 1 to coordinate with Deo Ca Construction Joint Stock Company to organize a security force, guide traffic flow, install sufficient barriers, road signs and traffic direction boards in accordance with the approved plan, ensuring absolute safety in the construction area.

At the same time, the Department of Construction requested the Traffic Police Department of Lam Dong Provincial Police and the People's Committee of Xuan Huong Ward - Da Lat to coordinate support, strengthen patrols and controls, and promptly handle any arising situations, contributing to keeping traffic on the alternative routes smooth and safe throughout the repair period of Prenn Pass.
