At flooded and landslide areas, leaders of the Da Nang Traffic Police Department urgently mobilized maximum forces, organized checkpoints, put up warning signs, erected barriers and instructed people and vehicles not to move into dangerous areas.

On the same day, on the La Son - Tuy Loan expressway, the traffic police discovered a crack tens of meters long on the road surface, with a high risk of landslides. Immediately upon discovery, Hoa Hiep Traffic Police Station (Traffic Police Department of Da Nang Police) quickly assigned officers and soldiers to be on duty, organize traffic flow, guide vehicles to turn back to Hai Van tunnel, and temporarily stop traffic on the damaged expressway section to ensure safety for people and vehicles.

On the La Son - Tuy Loan highway, traffic police discovered a crack dozens of meters long on the road surface, with a high risk of landslides.

According to the Hoa Hiep Traffic Police Station, the negative slope of La Son - Hoa Lien Expressway is Provincial Road 601 (DT601), and the negative slope of DT601 is located close to the bank of Cu De River. Prolonged heavy rain caused the river water to rise and flow rapidly, causing serious landslides on the negative slope of DT601, making the road surface of DT601 tilt towards the riverbed. The landslide of DT601 caused a 2 cm crack stretching for dozens of meters on La Son - Hoa Lien Expressway, threatening the safety of the expressway project.

The initial cause of the large crack on the La Son - Tuy Loan highway was due to the roadbed being eroded after many days of heavy rain. The mountainous terrain and water-saturated soil and rocks increased the risk of landslides. Currently, the Traffic Police have coordinated with the Ho Chi Minh Road Project Management Board and the road management unit to put up ropes, place warning signs, and strictly control the area.

Officers of Hoa Hiep Traffic Police Station were present on the La Son - Tuy Loan highway (Hai Van ward section) to promptly guide people and vehicles to move in a safe direction.

The Traffic Police Department recommends that people limit going out on the roads when not really necessary, absolutely do not try to cross flooded areas or areas with fast-flowing water; proactively monitor weather warning information and follow the instructions of the task force to ensure safety for themselves and the community.
