Mimosa Pass reopens to traffic

Lam Dong From 6:00 p.m. on November 30, Mimosa Pass (National Highway 20, Lam Dong Province) was officially allowed to reopen to traffic after more than 10 days of being paralyzed due to landslides.

The leader of Lam Dong Province's Department of Construction said that after completing the inspection of the Mimosa Pass site on the afternoon of November 30 and assessing the safety items, the department agreed to allow the entire route to be opened to traffic under a temporary plan. The bypass, which has been under urgent construction for more than 10 days, has been paved with asphalt, marked with lane dividers, reinforced with slopes, and equipped with a warning system to meet two-way traffic requirements.

“The permission to open the route from the evening of November 30 was made after we fully reviewed the technical conditions. The temporary route is capable of ensuring safety for vehicles, while the main route continues to be repaired. This is a necessary step to restore traffic, reduce pressure on freight transport and people's travel needs," emphasized a representative of the Department of Construction.

According to the Department of Construction, people and drivers passing through Mimosa Pass need to follow traffic control instructions, reduce speed and limit traffic at night or in bad weather. Currently, forces are still maintaining geological monitoring, especially in the area of ​​Km226+600 - Km226+800 - where serious landslides occurred previously.

The reopening of Mimosa Pass in early December helps to connect the trade route to Da Lat, serving the transportation of agricultural products, goods and the increasing tourism demand at the end of the year. Construction units continue to focus on completing the main route, ensuring long-term safety for the entire pass.

Previously, Mimosa Pass suffered a serious landslide around November 20-21, when the Da Lat area and surrounding areas were affected by prolonged heavy rain after the storm. At Km226+600 - Km226+800, the accumulated rainwater softened the ground, causing the slope to slide and tear up the entire road surface, forcing traffic on National Highway 20 to be temporarily stopped to ensure safety.
