There are 19 points on the national highway managed by the locality that are blocked.
Implementing the Prime Minister's direction on responding to exceptionally large floods in Khanh Hoa, Dak Lak , and Gia Lai, the Ministry of Construction has issued many urgent dispatches, requesting units to closely monitor weather developments, mobilize human resources, materials, and equipment to overcome incidents according to the "4 on-site" motto.
The Vietnam Road Administration has established a working group to go directly to the South Central region, directing construction units to repair the damage and ensure the route is soon opened. The Ministry of Construction has also requested support for spare materials for localities, in which the Road Management Area IV has provided 5,000 rock cages to Lam Dong province to help overcome landslides.
Heavy rains and floods caused deep flooding and landslides in hundreds of locations on the national highway network in the Central region. By 12 noon on November 23, all national highways managed by the Central Government had been reopened to traffic.
There are still 19 traffic jams on local routes. Khanh Hoa has 14 on National Highway 27C (Khanh Le Pass); Dak Lak has 2 on National Highway 25 and National Highway 27; Lam Dong has 3 on National Highway 20 and National Highway 27C.
Many landslides on the positive and negative slopes and broken roadbeds caused complete blockages. Some sections on National Highway 20 (Mimosa Pass and D'ran Pass) had their roadbeds torn off, 70m long and 40m deep.
Khanh Hoa province has completely banned traffic on National Highway 27C, and has divided traffic into two alternative directions via National Highway 1 - National Highway 27 or National Highway 1 - National Highway 26 - National Highway 27 to go to Da Lat.
The Civil Defense Command of the Ministry of Construction requested Military Region 5 to urgently support forces and mine-clearing equipment at Km44 QL27C - a particularly serious landslide location with many large rocks blocking the way and rugged terrain - to soon clear the vital route connecting Khanh Hoa and Lam Dong.
