The railway line through the Central region is expected to open this morning (November 26).
After nearly 10 days of being isolated and paralyzed due to historic floods causing serious landslides, the railway industry has been racing against time, mobilizing maximum forces and means to overcome the situation. Nghia Binh Railway Joint Stock Company mobilized nearly 800 workers to stay at the site, working through the night in bad weather conditions. Railway leaders were directly present at the Hao Son - Phu Hiep section, an area with serious landslides, the roadbed was washed away and the road centerline was shifted by up to 4m to direct the recovery work.
It is expected that early this morning (November 26), the North-South railway will officially open the section through the Central region. However, the damage caused by heavy rain and floods in the Dieu Tri - Nha Trang section is so severe that it may continue to affect the schedule of passenger and freight trains.
On national highways in Lam Dong , from 1 p.m. yesterday (November 25), Prenn Pass was officially allowed to allow people and vehicles to pass again, except for trucks which will continue to be restricted to ensure safety during the construction period to fix the problem.

Goods are received through government agencies, the Fatherland Front, and the Red Cross at all levels. The Corporation prioritizes loading relief goods onto luggage cars following the Thong Nhat passenger train and express freight trains running North - South. Trains departing from Hanoi , Giap Bat, Saigon, Song Than stations... bring goods to the nearest station with trains running, creating favorable conditions for local reception and distribution. This transportation activity takes place continuously, even when the railway line is cut off, many trains have to stop running or transfer.
