Mimosa Pass is expected to open to two-way traffic at 1 p.m. on December 4 after the landslide.

At noon on December 4, the leader of Lam Dong Department of Construction said that after about 7 hours of cleaning efforts, the landslide on Mimosa Pass (National Highway 20) is expected to be fixed and open to two-way traffic at 1:00 p.m. the same day.

The landslide point is located right at the old landslide section of the pass at Km226+500 to Km226+800. Photo taken at 9am on December 4.

The landslide occurred at nearly midnight on December 3, in Xuan Huong Ward - Da Lat, when soil and rock from the positive slope suddenly slid onto the road surface. This area is located right on the temporary bypass - where a serious landslide had occurred - from Km226+500 to Km226+800.

That very night, the Traffic Police Department of Lam Dong Province coordinated with relevant units to organize traffic flow and temporarily stop traffic at both ends of the pass to ensure safety.

Authorities are working to clear the landslide on Mimosa Pass at 11am this morning.

According to Lam Dong Department of Construction, the landslide from the positive slope slid down to the area Km226+500 to Km226+800, extending nearly 100 m from near the top of the hill down to the road surface. Through preliminary inspection, there were no cracks or subsidence at the top of the hill, however water still flowed continuously along the landslide.

Landslide on the hill dragged rocks and soil down to the road on Mimosa Pass at Km226+500 to Km226+800

To ensure traffic safety, the Traffic Police force and Lam Dong Police have blocked both ends of Mimosa Pass to guide vehicles going up and down Da Lat through Sacom Pass and Prenn Pass.
