Up to now, the authorities have bulldozed and cleared the landslide areas so that traffic can move smoothly.
National Highway 8A often suffers from landslides, especially traffic on the Lao side since the landslide occurred in August 8 and has not yet been handled and resolved by Lao authorities, making traffic difficult. towel. This also leads to many businesses not choosing to carry out import and export procedures for goods through Cau Treo international border gate. Therefore, the rate of goods cleared through Cau Treo international border gate has decreased sharply since the end of 2023 until now, Mr. Nguyen Tien Son added.
