Proposing to coordinate blockades to ensure traffic safety on Song Pha Pass

On the afternoon of November 19, Khanh Hoa Department of Construction sent a document to the Provincial Police, Lam Dong Department of Construction, Lam Son Commune People's Committee, bus stations in the province, transport enterprises, and transport cooperatives to coordinate in deploying forces to block and ensure traffic safety on Song Pha Pass on National Highway 27 in the conditions of prolonged rain and floods.

Based on the heavy rain that has lasted for the past day and the forecast of continued rainfall in the following days, many roads in the province have experienced landslides, deep flooding, and strong currents, especially on National Highway 27, which is currently experiencing complicated developments in terms of slope landslides and fallen trees causing traffic congestion. Therefore, the Department of Construction requested the Provincial Police to coordinate with functional forces and local authorities to set up checkpoints to prevent people and vehicles from traveling on National Highway 27 (Song Pha Pass) when safety conditions on the road are not ensured. After the traffic safety situation on the route is stabilized and safe again, the Provincial Police is requested to allow the clearance of the checkpoint so that people and businesses can continue moving on the road. At the same time, the People's Committee of Lam Son commune is requested to coordinate in organizing the installation of warning signs, barriers and prohibiting vehicles from passing at unsafe locations.

Landslides appeared at many points on Song Pha Pass.

For transport enterprises and bus stations, it is recommended to proactively adjust the itinerary, change the route to avoid National Highway 27 during the time the authorities block the road. Bus stations should increase propaganda at the station, arrange loudspeakers and electronic boards to warn passengers and transport units. People and transport enterprises must strictly follow the instructions of the authorities on road closures and traffic diversion at dangerous locations; do not intentionally cross deep flooded and landslide sections; do not stop or park vehicles in areas at risk of falling rocks and landslides on National Highway 27. It is recommended that the Department of Construction of Lam Dong province coordinate with the authorities to deploy blockades on National Highway 27 under the management of Lam Dong province when landslides occur on the route; regularly exchange information with the Department of Construction of Khanh Hoa province to coordinate to ensure traffic on the route.

The Department of Construction assigned the Traffic Works Maintenance Management Board to direct relevant units to urgently deploy forces, machinery, equipment, and human resources to immediately fix landslides on National Highway 27, and at the same time arrange forces to be ready to stand by at the scene for timely handling.
