Video : Landslide buries La Son - Tuy Loan highway
On November 26, VTC News reporters noted that landslides on the La Son - Tuy Loan highway (in Da Nang ) were still littered with mud, rocks and soil, even though authorities arranged vehicles and workers to work 24/7 to handle the situation.
In particular, at the landslide points from Km42+730 to Km42+800, Km46+330 to Km46+430, the amount of rock and soil was very large when the entire hill slid down onto the road.
A representative of Phu Yen Road Management and Repair Joint Stock Company (Road Management Area III) directly in charge of troubleshooting the problem on the highway said that at the landslide site, the total amount of rock and soil was estimated at about 30,000m3, with some sections stretching 50-60m. “We are trying to handle it as quickly as possible, but the continuous heavy rain, mud, and water continue to pour down, making the troubleshooting process difficult. In addition, the unit has to both clear the rock and soil while ensuring the safety of vehicles, so the progress is somewhat affected,” said the representative.
On November 26, it rained heavily but workers of Phu Yen Road Management and Repair Joint Stock Company still braved the rain, mobilizing excavators and trucks to clear mud and dirt.
Meanwhile, at Km46+330 to Km46+430, more than 20,000m3 of rock and soil on the slope continued to collapse, breaking the concrete retaining wall system. Currently, rock and soil cover almost the entire road surface, workers are clearing it to a width of about 5m, just enough for vehicles to pass.
The entire cement slope was torn apart. For over 10 days, workers have been using excavators to dig but have not finished yet.
"We work 24/7, but the amount of landslides is too large, so it is still a mess. In addition, the terrain here is complicated, the soil is mainly kaolin, the weather is raining heavily and continuously, the water-saturated soil expands and breaks the structure, so there is a potential risk of further landslides," added a representative of the incident response unit.
A representative of Phu Yen Road Management and Repair Joint Stock Company said that the unit also assigned people at checkpoints at both ends of the route to inform drivers of information before getting on the route, in order to avoid prolonged waiting time when passing through landslide points due to traffic difficulties.
