Lam Dong: D'ran Pass reopened after more than a month of severe landslides.

On the morning of December 11th, the Department of Construction of Lam Dong province announced that, starting from 9:00 AM that day, traffic volume would be limited on National Highway 20, specifically the section passing through D'ran Pass (Xuan Truong ward - Da Lat, Lam Dong province).

The landslide area on National Highway 20, specifically the section through D'ran Pass, has been cleared, and the load has been reduced on the hillside above.

Accordingly, the Department of Construction of Lam Dong province has allowed people and vehicles with a payload of less than 5 tons, and passenger cars with fewer than 16 seats, to resume traffic on D'ran Pass.

Vehicles weighing over 5 tons and passenger cars with more than 16 seats passing through the area should proactively choose to travel along National Highway 27.

The reopening of traffic is the result of extensive efforts by authorities, with over 40 consecutive days dedicated to repairing the landslide at Km262+400 to Km262+530 on National Highway 20 (Xuan Truong Ward – Da Lat).

Previously, this area experienced a serious landslide, posing a potential safety risk.

The Department of Construction of Lam Dong province also advises people to limit travel through the area at night due to limited visibility (fog), especially during heavy rain, except in necessary cases (pay attention to the condition of the road to promptly handle any incidents that may occur).

As reported by SGGP newspaper, on the evening of October 28th, a serious landslide occurred in the area of ​​the suspension bridge on D'ran Pass. Several pine trees were uprooted and fell onto the road, posing a safety risk to people and vehicles. Subsequently, authorities closed the affected section of the pass to allow for traffic to be diverted from the hillside above.
